Nowadays, more and more people suffer from respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, etc., due to long-term smoking, air pollution and other risk factors; these diseases are damaging people's lung function, making patients' dyspnea symptoms progressively aggravate, so it's very important to exercise and enhance one's lung function. Here we will see how to exercise and enhance their lung function:

1. Changing breathing patterns

The use of lip-contraction and abdominal breathing is an important measure to change breathing patterns, improve respiratory efficiency, ameliorate tissue hypoxia, and increase exercise capacity.

Lip-contracted breathing: Inhale through the nostrils and exhale through the lips in a whistling motion, allowing the gas to escape evenly from between the lips in a deep, slow breath.

Abdominal Breathing: Also known as diaphragmatic breathing, it is a type of respiration that mainly relies on the contraction of the abdominal muscles and diaphragm. The patient stands or takes a sitting position, relaxes the whole body muscles, puts one hand on the chest, one hand on the abdomen, inhales from the nose, tries to push the abdomen out, exhales when the abdominal muscles contract, exhales with the mouth with the abdomen inwardly, showing a whistle-like shape, the ratio of the inhalation and exhalation time is 1:2, and the respiration frequency is about 10 times/minute, and each practice lasts for not less than 15 minutes. After a period of practice, it is best to keep in each exercise lasts about 30 minutes.

2. Walking or doing other exercises regularly

Walking exercise: It can promote blood circulation, improve oxygen absorption capacity, improve lung function, and improve the body's lack of oxygen. Walking speed can be determined according to their own situation, walking speed can be kept even and moderate, and sometimes can change the speed, can promote the lower limbs and abdominal muscles rhythmic contraction, the swinging of the arms also helps to increase the ventilation of the lungs, so that the lung function has been strengthened. Every day, you should walk 1500-3000 meters (depending on your physical condition). When walking, you should try to straighten your chest as much as possible and cooperate with the breathing exercise. This method is more suitable for the elderly and frail, but requires long-term persistence (1 year or more) to achieve significant results.

Cycling exercise: Proper cycling exercise can maintain a comfortable chest forward position, which is conducive to breathing i.e. exercising muscle strength.

Swimming exercise: For people with good physical condition and mild disease, it is recommended that they can have appropriate swimming exercise to enhance the physical strength of the whole body and improve the respiratory function.

Balloon blowing exercise: blowing a balloon slowly with the nose to inhale deeply, hold your breath for about 1 second and then blow against the balloon mouth until you can't blow, 3 times a day, 10 minutes each time. Special attention, blowing a balloon does not lie in blowing fast, nor does it lie in blowing more, as long as you try to blow out the gas can be.

Jogging: Jogging is an effective and easy way to exercise lung function. Each jogging 300 to 500 meters. When running, pay attention to do breathing naturally, do not hold your breath.

Reasonable nutritional diet, good life pattern, change of breathing pattern, reasonable and effective exercise can effectively improve the lung function, and then improve the whole body hypoxia state, improve the exercise ability and improve the quality of life. These exercise methods should be practiced consistently.

I hope the above answer can help you.

I am a middle-distance runner, I will participate in 5-6 times a year in the half-marathon running, usually run about 3-4 times a week, each distance of 10-15 kilometers, about how to strengthen the lung function, my experience is that: cardiorespiratory fitness is needed to gradually strengthen in the process of gradual exercise, you can choose a sport that is easy for you to adhere to, and carry on for a long period of time, the frequency of the exercise is best three times a week to The frequency of exercise should be three to four times a week, and the time should be slowly increased from half an hour to one hour each time.

For example, jogging is the most unrestricted by the conditions of a sport, the beginning of running, pay attention to according to their own heart rate to adjust the speed, sports heart rate calculation you can go to the Internet to check out, generally speaking, do not exceed 150 times / min, adhere to a year later, your cardiorespiratory fitness must have a very obvious improvement.

Another exercise that can effectively exercise lung capacity is swimming, my friend's daughter is because she insisted on swimming when she was a child, as a result, as a small skinny child, her lung capacity is the largest in their class, than the boys also lung capacity are bigger. Swimming also needs long-term persistence, about 3 times a week, each time the distance of 500 meters or more.

The above is my personal experience, I hope it can help you oh.

Lung capacity is related to the strength of the respiratory muscles and the extent of thoracic expansion. During relative quiet, breathing is shallow; during exercise, the depth and number of breaths increase dramatically. At this point, the respiratory muscles are required to strengthen the activity and increase the ability of the thorax to expand, so that most of the alveoli are expanded. In this way, over time will be able to enhance the strength of the respiratory muscles, expand the range of thoracic activity, so that the number of gas-filled alveoli increased, so the lung capacity has also increased. Participating in any physical activity can increase lung capacity. However, due to the different characteristics of the sports program, the degree of impact on the human organs is not the same: such as swimming, diving, long-distance running, martial arts, ball games and other sports, the impact on the respiratory organs function is more obvious, on the contrary, weightlifting and other sports on the respiratory function of the impact of the smaller, and its lung capacity is correspondingly small.

Hi everyone, I'm Northeast Autumn Maple and my answer is: How can I work on my lung function?

There are many sports that can enhance lung capacity, but I am most enthusiastic about swimming. Swimming this sport is recognized and accepted by most people, swimming has many benefits to the human body, it can improve the human cardiopulmonary function, promote the increase of lung capacity, improve sleep and so on, so swimming is a particularly good exercise program, adhere to the swimming can also improve the flexibility of the joints, enjoy the mood, and most of all, improve lung capacity, I will answer here, just a suggestion, just for reference.

As a thoracic surgeon the most common question asked by patients is how to improve their lung function. Today we will teach you a few tricks.

Mr. Zhang was detected early lung cancer in the physical examination organized by the unit, and was hospitalized for thoracoscopic surgical treatment under the doctor's recommendation. The rapid intraoperative pathology was adenocarcinoma of the lung, and one lobe of the lung was cut according to the established surgical plan. Postoperative lymph nodes were all negative and the tumor was staged very early and resected. This would have been a very desirable outcome, but Mr. Zhang was always sullen because he had been suffering from chest tightness after the operation.

There are a lot of patients with chest tightness after lung surgery like Mr. Zhang, and even many people who have not had the surgery always feel tightness in the chest, which is all caused by the decline in lung function.

What is lung function?

The lungs are the organs that exchange gases between the body and the outside world. The lungs ensure the body's need for oxygen through ventilation and gas exchange. When there are problems with ventilation or hyperventilation, the exchange of oxygen and dioxygen will be affected.. This can cause the patient to have an oversupply of oxygen or an impairment of carbon dioxide elimination. And we collectively refer to the ventilatory and ventilatory functions of the lungs as the human lung function.

Normal people have the best state of lung function when they are young, with age, lung function gradually decline, especially some long-term smoking or dust exposure history of patients lung function decline significantly, all will gradually appear chest tightness suffocation and wheezing and other symptoms, and lung resection surgery will also lead to the decline of human lung function.

Why do I feel chesty and breathless after lung surgery?

Many people have more or less chest tightness and breathlessness after lung surgery, sitting still is fine, but when you move, you can't get your breath. This is very typical due to decreased lung function.

To give a layman's example.A man with five lobes is like five horses.In normal times, it is not a problem for five horses to pull a carriage. When lung surgery to cut off a lobe of the lung is like removing one of the horses, the original five horses pulling the carriage became four horses, so the horse pulling the carriage will be more difficult, the flat ground may be okay, once encountered uphill or need to run quickly the horse will feel the strain, and then the horse is panting.

In contrast to the horse's panting, the patient's postoperative pulmonary surgery became chesty and suffocated with wheezing。

How can lung function be improved?

Can lung function be improved with exercise? The answer is yes. Here are a few small ways to improve lung function

1. Balloon blowing method

One thing that is not lacking in the thoracic surgery ward is balloons. Many people mistakenly think that the patients are childish, but in fact the balloons are used to exercise lung function.

Patients take a sitting position, blow the balloon as big as possible after inhaling deeply with force, 20 times for a group, 4-6 groups per day. The lungs can be fully inflated during each exercise, which can improve our lung function very well.

2. Deep breathing exercises

The patient takes a lying position, places the left hand on the upper abdomen and the right hand on the anterior chest, relaxes and breathes, inhales through the nose and exhales through the mouth, trying to keep the thorax motionless and the abdomen stretched out for 10-15 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day, which can improve the lung function very well.

3. Stair climbing exercise

Climbing stairs is an effective exercise to improve lung function, so generally perioperative period we encourage patients to do up and down the stairs, of course, the number of floors of stairs, speed according to the patient's personal physical condition to decide, and there must be a chaperone to accompany the climbing of the stairs, in order to put in the process of the movement of the accident. 2-3 times a day, can be very good to improve lung function.

Who needs pulmonary function tests?

Chest tightness and breathlessness can occur after a decline in lung function, but chest tightness and breathlessness are not always caused by a decline in lung function, so in order to determine whether or not the chest tightness is caused by insufficient lung function, you can do a pulmonary function test. It is recommended for the following categories of patients

1. In patients with persistent chest tightness after surgery, pulmonary function tests were performed to determine whether it was caused by reduced lung function.

2、History of smoking and long-term cough or with wheezing patients, pulmonary function tests to see whether the small airway function changes, whether there is a tendency to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

3, seasonal cough and wheezing attacks, after the use of antibiotics is still ineffective lung function tests can be clear whether the asthma

4. Anesthesia, surgical risk assessment to determine if lung surgery can be tolerated

Summarize: Many people have more or less chest tightness and breathlessness after lung surgery, which is very typical due to the decline of lung function. Through active pulmonary function exercise, lung function is improved, which can effectively reduce the clinical symptoms of chest tightness and wheezing.

Some long-standing physical exercise methods, such as bicycling, running (including walking), swimming, and so on, are beneficial to the enhancement of one's lung function. In addition, I would like to introduce to you two qigong practice methods that are extremely beneficial to the improvement of human lung function.

(1) Lung Nurturing Method Put your hands together in front of your chest. Sit in a disk, double disk, single disk, loose disk, choose one method. Relax your whole body naturally and breathe naturally. Observe that the lungs are white jade, pure and white with no mixed colors, always emitting white light, the essence of purity and clarity. Practice for 30-60 minutes. Close the gong.

Closing method: Hands folded in front of the chest, the body relaxes and closes the eyes, reciting 'Namo Amitabha Buddha' ten times. Then cross the palms on the abdomen, look inside the center of the abdomen there is an orchid-colored gem (if the size of an egg), put the orchid light, to think of the orchid light through the pores of the body radiated to the nature, and then from the nature of the pores of the body through the body back to the center of the abdomen, three minutes. Finally, the palms of the friction of heat, and then patting and massaging the whole body for a while can be.

(2) hold the mantra method ordinary more 'ming mani (mom)' mantra sound, can also be more 'ming' sound, to improve lung function is extremely helpful.

Qigong practice methods are suitable for people of all ages to practice, the methods are simple and easy to learn, as long as they persist, they can obtain better effects.

The coronavirus has not yet been completely eradicated, and it is very important to exercise lung function. There are three commonly used means of lung function exercise: abdominal breathing, lip-contraction breathing, and slow, long, full steps. In addition to effective coughing, appropriate and regular standard physical exercise can enhance the patient's physical fitness, which can not only prevent coronary pneumonia, but also prevent upper respiratory tract infections, which can enhance the physical fitness, and can resist a variety of tumors. But for lung diseases, in the exercise time generally recommend that patients to choose a more appropriate exercise space and method, as Hua Tuo famous words: "the human body wants to get labor, but not to make the extreme ear, shaking the grain gas to eliminate the blood circulation, the disease shall not be born. Like the household pivot, the end of immortality."

Wang Shengwei, an old Chinese doctor

Jogging, walking, cycling, jumping rope, swimming are very good way to exercise cardiorespiratory function, jogging or walking to ten minutes after the back can obviously feel sweaty for the effective effect, you can also ride a bicycle and jogging two in one, this exercise is recommended each time about 30 minutes, 3 times a week. Some people are not suitable for strenuous exercise, you can also choose to swim, swimming is also a good way to exercise cardiorespiratory function.

Lung function is an indicator of a person's respiratory reserve. Everyone's lung function is different, it is like a human attribute, and the person's height, weight are related, think about it, Yao Ming's lung function and the gymnast's lung function can be the same.

Since it is an indicator that it can be altered, how can you enhance your lung function through exercise? I think the most appropriate exercise is swimming! Phelps, Sun Yang, Ning Zetao, these swimmers which do not have more than ordinary people's lung function, why, is usually practiced, because the game of this sport requires people to do the action of holding their breath, often hold their breath is the lungs compensatory expansion, the entire thorax will be lengthened, you see those professional swimmers have a long thorax, developed pectoralis major muscle.

If you can't swim, then you can choose to jog, jogging is also very capable of enhancing lung function of a sport, thought jogging it allows you to learn to adjust breathing, so that your lungs ventilation efficiency to reach the maximum, long-term adherence, there will certainly be results.
