Figure 2 Effect of increasing the aerobic capacity on pulmonary functions.
This diagram illustrates possible mechanisms of increasing oxygenation capacity in improving pulmonary functions. These possible mechanisms include increasing the function of pulmonary immunity, restoring normal lung elasticity and strength, and decreasing coughing through autoimmune regulations. COVID-19: Coronavirus disease 2019; Ig: Immunoglobulin; IL: Interleukin; NK: Natural killer; TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
