Cardiopulmonary Conditioning (CPC)

Cardiopulmonary Conditioning (CPC)

Cardiopulmonary conditioning, abbreviated CPC, aids in the improvement of cardiac and pulmonary efficiency. Additionally, it enhances the heart and lungs’ functionality. Nowadays, this is a very efficient exercise regimen for increasing metabolism and is hence highly recommended.

However, the duration and intensity of exercise are dependent on the patient’s condition. This particular activity consists of three stages:

  1. Warn-up: This phase lasts between 5 and 10 minutes and stretches and loosens the muscles.
  2. Conditioning: This is the primary phase, which often lasts 15-20 minutes in order to maintain a steady heart rate.
  3. Cool down: This phase can last up to four to ten minutes and should be followed by relaxing techniques.
