I suffer from asthma as well as sca6 and that was one of reasons I had to use a wheelchair as when I was walking not only would my legs stop working my breathing would become erratic .I also find when I get a cold it effects my whole body all I can recommend is gentle excercise when your father is up to it .I did a bit swimming during Summer which helped breathing but needed to rest for an hour after it so its just listening to your body and trying to do small exercises if thats all it can do
