BACKGROUND: @entity370 @entity1 suffer from @entity1295 and exercise limitation. The aim of this study was to establish whether a physical training program improves these and other outcomes important to @entity370 @entity1 . METHODS: From 11/2012 to 9/2014, 201 @entity370 @entity1 were referred to the ild care expertise team, Ede, the Netherlands. In our center, all @entity1 are routinely recommended to undergo testing at baseline to determine their physical functioning and encouraged to complete a 12-week, supervised physical training program. Ninety @entity1 underwent baseline testing and returned for repeat testing at 3  months in the interim, 49 completed the training program (Group I) and 41 chose not to participate (Group II). Change over time (from baseline to 3  months) in @entity1295 , exercise capacity, and skeletal muscle strength were assessed between the two groups. RESULTS: At baseline, there were no between-group differences for @entity1295 , DLCO  %, FVC  %, or exercise capacity [assessed by percent predicted six-minute walk distance (6MWD  %) and Steep Ramp Test (SRT)]. The 6MWD for Group I improved between baseline and 3  months, while the 6MWD remained the same in Group II (F  =  72.2, p  <  0.001). Group I showed a significantly larger decrease of @entity1295 compared with Group II (F  =  6.27, p  =  0.014). Lung function tests did not change in either group. CONCLUSION: A supervised physical training program improves exercise capacity and @entity1295 among @entity370 @entity1 and should be included in their management regimen.
