They will only receive standard medical treatment. In addition to the evaluation parameters applied, no additional information and/or exercise will be recommended other than routine clinical treatment and recommendations.
Aerobic exercise group; 3 days a week, 45-60 minutes will be carried out in the form of walking and jogging on the treadmill. Initially, warm-up exercises (10 minutes) will perform walking at 35-70% of maximum heart rate (HRmax). Then, aerobic exercises, the resistance and duration of which are increased according to the tolerance of the patient on the treadmill for 30-35 minutes, and at 60-70% of the HRmax, attention will be paid to ensure that the fatigue severity perceived by the patients is within the range of 12-14 according to the Modified Borg scale. Afterwards, the exercise program will be terminated with a cooling period (10 minutes) consisting of walking at a light pace.
The high-intensity interval training (HIIT) group, it will be performed as walking or jogging on the treadmill for 4X4 minutes (16 minutes in total) at ≥ 80% of HRmax, three times a week, with each session lasting a total of 38 minutes. Each training session will begin with a 10-minute warm-up period at 70% of HRmax. Between each 4-minute interval and after the last interval, patients will walk at 70% of HRmax for 3 minutes. Patients will check heart rate and target heart rate to control exercise intensity and will aim to reach their individual target heart rate after 1-1.5 minutes of exercise in each interval. The physical therapist, who oversees all training sessions, will check the patients' target heart rates.
