What this trial is about

Patients who are diagnosed with COPD by a pulmonology specialist and referred to pulmonary rehabilitation will be included in the study. Cases that meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized and divided into two groups, standard exercise program group (SGr) and chair-based exercise. program group will be called (ChGr). While standard exercises will be given to SGr, chair-based exercises will be applied to ChGr. All evaluation and initial training sessions of the cases will be held in the hospital. Apart from this, they will be asked to do their exercises at home with the exercise videos that will be sent to them. In order to ensure that home exercises are performed completely and correctly, 2 sessions of online simultaneous exercise training will be provided with a physiotherapist via videoconference on a smartphone, and exercise follow-ups will be carried out by calling once a week. The program duration is 8 weeks, 5 days a week.
