“…The key important fact is that regular physical activity may help to prevent or delay the onset or progress of different chronic diseases which are now wellrecognized worldwide. [12][13][14] Considering examples like studies showing that individuals with pulmonary disease (COPD) who engage in less physical activity throughout their daily lives face an increased likelihood of hospital readmission and a shorter overall survival. Hence it is crucial to evaluate the quantity and intensity of activity in one's routine due to the strong correlation between activity levels and overall well-being.…”

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as pulmonary disease, is a long-term lung disease condition characterized by inflammation that leads to restricted airflow from the lungs. People with COPD may experience symptoms like coughing, mucus production, wheezing, feeling tightness in the chest, being tired or losing weight unintentionally, and experiencing swelling. COPD can also lead to episodes of worsened symptoms called exacerbations that require attention. The severity of COPD is categorized into four stages ranging from mild to severe based on how it limits airflow in the lungs. COPD management requires a comprehensive and personalized approach that considers various factors that influence the condition. In this review, we searched the existing body of research regarding how exercise interventions can help manage COPD. These interventions include rehabilitation, aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and inspiratory muscle training. The goal of these interventions is to enhance exercise capacity, alleviate breathlessness, improve fitness, boost muscle strength, and enhance functionality and quality of life for individuals living with COPD. The paper also discusses the pharmacological therapy and dietary support that are essential for COPD management. The review states that COPD is an advancing illness that necessitates detection and efficient intervention methods, in order to reduce its advancement and enhance its results. The paper emphasizes the significance of integrating exercise interventions into COPD treatment as a means to encourage activity and overall wellness among patients with COPD.

“…We can speculate that 8 to 12 weeks of structured program could be sufficient to gain positive effects, even more with an extended period such as Chee et al that maintained improvements after 2-month follow up [ 35 ]. Nevertheless, according to ES analysis, EG intervention seemed to be more effective than FB-G. A physical fitness class with the presence and the supervision of a trainer [ 34 ], following a standard intervention [ 33 ], could be more effective than web-based involvement [ 44 ].…”

Background: it is well known in literature that sedentary lifestyle contributes to worsening people’s health. This issue highlights the need for effective interventions to promote an active lifestyle. Research suggested multilevel intervention strategies to promote adherence to recommended physical activity levels, including the use of social networks that may simplify access to health notions. Being Facebook® the most extensive worldwide social network, this document aimed to analyze the current body of evidence on the role of Facebook® in the promotion of physical activity. Methods: eighteen manuscripts were considered eligible for this systematic review, and it was performed a meta-analysis (PRISMA guidelines) for overall physical activity parameters in eleven out of eighteen studies. Results: significant improvements were detected in the total amount of physical activity. In parallel, an increase in other parameters, such as cardiovascular, body composition, and social support, were found. The aerobic training, with supervised and tailored modalities, showed more considerable improvements. Conclusions: this study showed that Facebook® might be considered a feasible and accessible approach to promoting regular exercise practice and achieving health benefits indicators. Future research on the cross-link between physical activity and social network management could also focus on strength training to verify if a more structured intervention would show an effect.

“…Nevertheless, health promotion is not yet sufficiently implemented in primary care [ 16 ]. There is a significant imbalance between treating disease and promoting health in healthcare provision [ 17 , 18 ]. Underlying reasons were found in primary care professionals’ daily work and include lack of time, insufficient reimbursement and heavy workload [ 2 , 14 , 19 , 20 ].…”

Background Primary care professionals could play a key role in health promotion implementation. A fundamental aspect that might affect the willingness of primary care professionals to strengthen health promotion, and about which we do not yet know much, are professional beliefs. Therefore, we conducted a quantitative survey to (1) compare professional beliefs and the willingness to work more in health promotion between five major primary care professions, and (2) investigate associations between professional beliefs and the willingness to work more in health promotion. Methods A large-scale cross-sectional study based on a nation-wide web-based survey of primary care professionals in Switzerland was conducted from January to July 2022. The survey was addressed to pharmacists, physicians, medical practice assistants, nurses, and physiotherapists working in primary care in Switzerland. Differences between groups were tested using T-tests and Chi-square tests. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between variables related to professional beliefs and the willingness to work more in health promotion. Results The responses of 4’063 primary care professionals were used for analysis. Most primary care professionals revealed a salutogenetic attitude towards their primary care tasks. Members of all professions showed high awareness of their tasks in tackling increased risks of disease (80.2% of all participants). Especially allied health professionals wished to see a greater role of prevention in primary care (pharmacists: 72.4%, medical practice assistants: 63.9%, nurses: 75.6%, physiotherapists: 73.9% versus physicians: 46.9%). All professional groups showed a high willingness to work more in health promotion (88% of all participants). Salutogenetic beliefs of primary care professionals and their willingness to work more in health promotion are strongly associated. Participants agreeing that health promotion should play a greater role or that preventive consultations should be offered in primary care, are more willing to work more in health promotion compared to participants who disagree with these ideas. Conclusions Both affiliation to allied primary care professions and salutogenetic professional beliefs are associated with higher willingness to work more in health promotion. The high willingness provides evidence of a large, yet untapped potential. Promoting salutogenetic beliefs might further increase the willingness to engage in health promotion.
