What affects physical activity for people with PH?
A UK study examined the factors that affected physical activity participation among people with pulmonary hypertension (PH). They found four themes: fear of breathlessness; lack of motivation and a desire for monitoring and targets; keeping up appearances; and receiving little advice on physical activity, so they had to initiate communication themselves.
The researchers suggest that broadening people's idea of what physical activity is, alongside goal-setting and deliberate monitoring, might help.
