Conditions

Summary

This study looks at whether Street Racket is a feasable activity that can be added to pulmonary rehabilitation for people with chronic lung disease. Participants complete short questionnaires at the start and end of the program to rate the feasibility and rate their breathlessness during each session. Attendance is recorded to understand how well the activity is used and whether there are any barriers.

Interventions

OTHERStreet Racket

Street racket will be offered as an additional, optional training once session for patients once every two weeks within the ambulatory pulmonary rehabilitation program. The session begins with a 10-minute warm-up led by a physiotherapist, followed by 45 minutes of street racket play. The content of each session will be adapted based on group size and the playing level of the participants. A typical session structure consists of four intervals of 8 minutes of play, each separated by 2-minute breaks, and concludes with 5 minutes of cool-down. Depending on the patients need the training protocol can be adapted, for instance to include more cognitive or balance elements
