You may not be able to improve your PFT results, but you can definitely improve your ability to function with exercise. Even if the numbers don't improve, if you can do more and be more comfortable doing it, that's improvement you can use!

It’s my understanding you can improve your lung Capacity when you continue to exercise regularly.
