dc.description.abstractChronic lung diseases (CLDs) in children, such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, significantly impact respiratory function and overall quality of life. E xercise based p ulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has emerged as a multidisciplinar y approach to improving lung function, exercise capacity, and reducing hospitalization rates. This study assesse d the effectiveness of a structured PR program in pediatric patients with CLDs in Damietta Governorate, Egypt. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 400 pediatric patients with CLDs (aged 6 16 years) divided equally into intervention and control groups. The intervention group underwent a 12 week exercise based PR program incorporating respiratory training, airway clearance t echniques, a nd physical therapy, while c hildren in the control group received standard medical care consisting of routine follow ups, medication management, and lifestyle counseling without structured rehabilitation exercises Post intervention results demonstrated si gnificant improvements in forced expiratory volume (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow, six minute walk test (6MWT), and quality of life scores (p < 0.001). Additionally, hospitalization frequency and medication dependency were signif icantly reduced (p < 0.001). The findings reveal that e xercise based PR significantly improves pulmonary function, exercise tolerance, and overall quality of life in children with chronic lung diseases. Additionally, PR effectively reduces hospitalization rates and medication dependency, offering a sustainable approach to disease management
