What target Borg dyspnea score is suggested for training intensity in pulmonary patients?

The target Borg dyspnea score of 4-6/10 is suitable for training intensity in pulmonary patients because it is indicative of a moderate level of perceived breathlessness. This range allows the patient to engage in exercise that is challenging enough to promote cardiovascular and respiratory fitness without causing excessive discomfort or danger. It acknowledges the unique responses of pulmonary patients to physical exertion; an intensity that is too low may not provide adequate training stimulus, while too high of a level could jeopardize their safety and lead to significant deterioration in their respiratory status. The 4-6 score helps ensure patients are pushing their limits in a controlled way that facilitates improvement while monitoring their breathing closely to avoid overshooting their capabilities. Proper management of training intensity is critical in rehabilitation to enhance strength, endurance, and overall quality of life for individuals with pulmonary conditions.
