I have developed a lung issue and can't breathe anymore, but I love playing sports. What are some good cardio-light sports?

If you've got a small fortune to spend you could try those small motorcycles, I think they're called motorcross? Might be the same as dirtbikes if those are motorized? I've note tried it myself (see the point about the small fortune) but sitting, standing, squatting, steering and adrenaline, seems like the intensity can be adjusted depending on speed and track.

Parasailing, skydiving and base jumping seems adrenaline inducing af but maybe not too physically demanding?

SUP on a calm lake isn't particularly strenuous, but really rough if the wind or water flows against you. Put on a life jacket and learn to relax and lightly steering yourself to float to shore if you can't breathe enough to swim, should you fall off where you cant get back up.

Racing around with a motor boat is easy, as long as it turns on by the press of a button (not pull-chord-to-start) and doesn't break down so you have to row back. Always bring a phone in a water safe bag strapped to yourself, and use a life vest at all times, and let people know where you'll be and when they should expect you back.

Yoga can be super chill, or super demanding. There are plenty free tutorials online and you don't need equipment.

Maybe learning an instrument (though not brass) and playing in a band would scratch the same itch as doing a team sport?
