Kroniskt obstruktiv lungsjukdom, KOL, är en av vår tids stora folksjukdomar. Antalet som drabbas i Sverige har dock minskat kraftigt de senaste åren till följd av minskad tobaksrökning. I Sverige beräknas mellan 400 000 och 700 000 personer ha KOL. De flesta har sjukdomen i lindrig form och många lever med den utan att ha fått diagnosen. KOL är en så kallad kronisk sjukdom. Det vill säga, du blir

Vid sjukdomen KOL går väggarna i lungornas lungblåsor sönder på ett sätt som gör att det blir svårt att syresätta sig. I ett forskningssamarbete lett från Lunds universitet undersöks nu hur fysisk träning påverkar lungorna vid KOL, och man tittar ända ner på molekylnivå. Förhoppningen är att kunna visa att träning får lungornas celler att prestera bättre – och därigenom få ledtrådar om hur man kan

I skrivande stund har ett 50-tal deltagare inkluderats och genomfört träningsprogrammet som ingår i T-REX studien. Majoriteten av våra deltagare är mycket ambitiösa och positivt inställda. Kritiken som studien har fått hittills är ”varför finns det inte en uppföljning, så att vi kan få fortsätta att träna?”. Här har vi samlat fyra av våra deltagares upplevelser av att ha deltagit i T-REX studien.

Kul att du är intresserad av T-REX studien! Som deltagare erbjuds man att ta del av ett individbaserat träningsprogram framtaget av erfarna sjukgymnaster och fysioterapeuter. Att delta aktivt i att förbättra sin egen hälsa tror vi är positivt för människors motivation och kunskap om sin egen sjukdom. Medverkande i studien innebär att man aktivt deltar i ett individbaserat, handlett träningsprogram
