About This Trial
Airway resistance will be measured using the forced oscillation technique (FOT). The parameters Rrs, Xrs, and ∆Xrs will be compared before and after a pulmonary rehabilitation cycle at moderate altitude. Additionally, the differences between low and moderate altitude will also be examined.
