Pulmonary Rehabilitation Group
Physical Activity Group
A total of 24 sessions of breathing exercises and high-repetitive muscle endurance and strengthening exercises will be applied to the pulmonary telerehabilitation group for 8 weeks, two days a week and one day a week unsupervised, via online systems. High-repetition muscle endurance and strengthening exercises will be applied to large muscle groups of the lower and upper extremities by creating resistance with body weight and theraband.
Respiratory exercises and physical activity recommendations will be given to the physical activity group. Physical activity recommendations are; It will include information about the importance of physical activity and walking 3-5 days a week for at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity (4-6 on the Modified Borg scale of perceived exertion level).
