Methods to increase lung capacity include: lower limb exercise endurance training, upper limb mobility training, effective respiratory homework treatment, diet therapy, etc. 1 lower limb exercise endurance training: ① exercise: walking, laddering, power cycling, fitness running and so on. ② Exercise intensity: heart rate increased by at least 20% to 30% after each exercise, and 5 to 10 minutes after the cessation of exercise to return to the quiet value; or to the appearance of a slight shortness of breath until. ③ Exercise time: 10～45 minutes/time, 2～5 times a week for 4～10 weeks. 2. Upper limb mobility training: use gymnastic bars for activities in all directions over the midline at a height higher than the shoulder level, or make upper limb lasso exercises with a high head; also can be used to hold weights, start with 0.5kg, later gradually increase to 2-3kg, for activities in all directions higher than the shoulder level, 1-2min for each activity, 2-3min for breaks, two times a day. 3. Effective respiratory therapy: contraction of the lips and breathing to reduce the amount of residual air in the lungs. For example, you can inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. When inhaling, inhale deeply through the nose; when exhaling, reduce the shape of the mouth like a whistle and make a slight sound. The ratio of inhalation to exhalation time is 1:2. 4. Diet therapy: obese people should be encouraged to lose weight in order to reduce the respiratory work, thin and even malnourished people to increase caloric intake, daily intake of calories should be 1.7 times the energy consumption at rest, of which the protein intake should be > 1.7g / (kg – d). Pay attention to maintain blood potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, levels, to ensure the strength and endurance of muscle power. Appearance of discomfort, timely consultation, active treatment, so as not to miss the condition.
