Whilst new pharmaceutical treatments slow disease progression in some patients, most care options remain supportive [1, 2]. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is recommended for people with ILD, however not all participants have a positive response [3–5]. A recent randomised controlled trial found that the benefits of exercise training were greatest in individuals who were able to progress their exercise training loads according to the study protocol [4]. The aim of this analysis was to identify predictors of the ability to adhere to the exercise progression protocol in people with ILD.In ILD, adherence to the training sessions in pulmonary rehabilitation predicts progression of exercise training loads; declining lung function is an independent predictor of failure to progress training loads http://bit.ly/2Z4x9Nw ER -
