| Research Abstract |
Exercise capacity was evaluated by 6-minute walking test in systemic sclerosis with interstitial pneumonia. Pulmonary dysfunction like as decrease of diffusion capacity of lung for carbon monoxide and pulmonary arterial hypertension were found as the affecting factors to exercise intolerance. Exercise training of pulmonary rehabilitation was performed reserving sufficient oxygen saturation, which improved exercise capacity in the case with more deteriorated exercise tolerance despite of pulmonary dysfunction. Moreover, the exercise training was also effective on exercise induced hypoxia without harmful event.
