Pulmonary Rehabilitation

All patients will undergo supervised pulmonary rehabilitation program on 2 days per week for 3 months. Apart from that, they will ask to perform the home exercise program which is scheduled as 3 days per week and fill out the exercise follow-up form. Supervised exercise sessions consist of aerobic(treadmill walking, bicycle training, arm ergometer training) and strengthening training(free weights). A 6-min walk test, a 10-meter walking speed test and a 5 times sit to stand test will be performed to determine the exercise capacity of the patient. The tests will be carried out at the beginning and end of rehabilitation. At each testing session, the tests will be performed sequentially by the same physiotherapist, giving 20 minute rest periods within the same day.
