Summary

This study tests whether doing special breathing exercises (inspiratory muscle training) before a lung transplant can help people recover more quickly after surgery. Researchers will enroll 90 adults with lung disease who are waiting for a transplant. The goal is to see if these exercises strengthen breathing muscles, reduce time on a ventilator, and improve quality of life.
