Since early 1980s, pulmonary rehabilitation has been acknowledged as a comprehensive intervention with hundreds of studies being performed over the past thirty years demonstrating its benefits on multiple outcomes; nevertheless, there are still multiple unresolved challenges, and new ones are currently emerging, with the COVID-19 outbreak now in the spotlight. PR stems from a comprehensive evaluation of the patient aimed to design an individually-tailored, multi-component intervention to optimise symptom control, pulmonary function, exercise capacity and health-related quality of life [1] . The effectiveness of PR on different outcomes such as exercise capacity, muscle function, dyspnoea and symptom control, is quite robust, so it is currently recommended in the management of different chronic respiratory conditions, especially for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).	./cache/cord-289219-qjxdggz3.txt	./txt/cord-289219-qjxdggz3.txt
