Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (14)

  • Vital Capacity

    Vital capacity will be measured in liters, which is one of the respiratory functions.

    8 weeks

  • Functional Exercise Capacity

    It will be evaluated by the 6-minute walking test.

    8 weeks

  • Dyspnoea

    The resting dyspnea level will be evaluated according to the Modified Borg Scale.

    8 weeks

  • fatigue

    Fatigue level will be assessed using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS).

    8 weeks

  • Anxiety and Depression Status

    It will be evaluated with the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale.

    8 weeks

  • Physical Activity Level

    It will be evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short form (IPAQ-S).

    8 weeks

  • Cognitive Function

    Cognitive evaluation of the patients will be made with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MOCA).

    8 weeks

  • Daily Life Activities

    Daily life activities will be evaluated with the London Chest Daily Living Activities Scale.

    8 weeks

  • Daytime Sleepiness

    Daytime sleepiness will be assessed with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS).

    8 weeks

  • Sleep Quality

    Sleep quality will be evaluated with the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).

    8 weeks

  • Life Quality

    Quality of life will be evaluated with the SF-36 scale.

    8 weeks

  • Inspiratory Muscle Strength

    Inspiratory muscle strength will be evaluated by measuring the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) in cmH2O.

    8 weeks

  • Forced Vital Capacity

    Forced Vital Capacity will be measured in liters, which is one of the respiratory functions.

    8 weeks

  • Expiratory Muscle Strength

    Expiratory muscle strength will be evaluated by measuring the maximum expiratory pressure (MIP) in cmH2O.

    8 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Pranayama Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this group will apply a 45-minute training program at home, consisting of 5 minutes of Ujjayi pranayama, 5 minutes of Nadi-Shodhana pranayama and 5 minutes of Sukha pranayama, 7 days a week for 8 weeks, 3 times a day. In addition, they will perform a 15-minute session 3 day a week for 8 weeks, under the online supervision of a physiotherapist. The training program will last 8 weeks.

Other: Ujjayi pranayama, Nadi-Shodhana pranayama, Sukha pranayama

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

No intervention will be made to this group.

Interventions

Ujjayi pranayama:It is a pranayamic application that is performed by slightly twisting the throat and breathing through the nose. Nadi shodhana pranayama is breathing alternately through the right and left nostrils.Sukha pranayama is inhaled through the nose for 5 seconds, then given through the nose for 5 seconds. Thus, 6 times of inspiration and expiration is done per minute.
