Cardiopulmonary Function and Quality of Life in Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Rehabilitation can be applied to the intervention group in two ways: in person or by home orientation. The face-to-face form will correspond to 5 weeks of intervention, 3 sessions per week, which should include: a) aerobic resistance training of 30 minutes in total, five minutes of cooling down); b) strengthening of peripheral muscles using 20-minute sessions of calisthenic exercises; and c) maintained active stretching, for 10 minutes, for the main muscle groups. The home-based intervention will correspond to three months of daily activities, monitored twice a week in the first month and once a week in the second and third months, by telephone or video conference, and will follow an exercise protocol that includes: a) aerobic resistance training for 15 uninterrupted minutes; b) anaerobic training to strengthen the peripheral muscles for 15 minutes at intervals with breathing exercises; and c) maintained active stretching, for 10 minutes, for the main muscle groups.
