Interventions

Behavioral : On the first visit, we will obtain consent and screen for research selection criteria. Subjects perform two 6-minute walk tests (30-minute rest) to check for hypoxia during exercise witho
maximum intensity) by applying natural breathing or constricted lip breathing. After that, take a 30-minute break and perform a 6-minute walk test with the second breathing method by crossover assignm

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Interstitial Lung disease patients who diagnosed by forced vital capacity (FVC) <80 % or diffusion capacity (DLCO)<80 %, Adult men and women over 20 years old

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Subjects with severe hypoxia (less than 88% of SpO2) at rest 2. Subjects who are limited in 6-minute gait test due to musculoskeletal problems of legs or feet 3. Subjects with limited activity due to heart disease (heart failure NYHA II~IV) 4. Subjects with pain while walking due to arteriovenous vascular disease 5. Subjects who do not understand the test due to cognitive decline 6. Subjects with obesity whose fat thickness of the quadriceps muscle exceeds 1cm 7. Subjects with muscle disease (myositis, myopathy) 8. Pregnant women
