Summary
This study looks at whether low-resistance exercise (like light strength training) can safely help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) feel better and be less frail. About 20 adults with stable PAH will try the program. Researchers will track safety, how well people stick with it, and changes in physical function and quality of life.
