Exercise training group
Control training group
Individuals in the treatment group were given respiratory exercises (diaphragmatic breathing, thoracic expansion, exercises to increase chest compliance with respiratory control with exercise band and leg strengthening exercises) and inspiratory muscle training with the Threshold IMT (T-IMT) device. Inspiratory muscle training was applied for 30 minutes, 3 times a day, 7 days a week for 6 weeks.
Breathing exercises (diaphragmatic breathing, thoracic expansion, exercises to increase chest compliance with respiratory control with exercise band and leg strengthening exercises) were taught in the control group and only the exercise link containing these exercises was sent.
