warm water immersion improves lung airflow and lowers carbon dioxide in blood
Exercise in hot spring water (physical therapy in a pool) was effective for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with observed decreases in PaCO2, increases in FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio, and improvement in blood gas exchange in pulmonary capillaries.
What this means for you
When your lungs move air more efficiently and carbon dioxide clears from the blood more easily, breathing feels less labored and your body works less hard with every breath. For anyone dealing with reduced lung capacity, even modest improvements in airflow and gas exchange can translate to more energy and easier daily movement.
