Brief Summary

Purpose of the research This research was designed to determine the effect of breathing exercise applied to individuals diagnosed with COPD on respiratory function, dyspnea and quality of life. Hypotheses of the Research H0a: Breathing exercise applied to individuals diagnosed with COPD has no effect on the respiratory function test FEV1/FVC. H1a: Breathing exercise applied to individuals diagnosed with COPD has an effect on the respiratory function test FEV1/FVC. H0b: Breathing exercise applied to individuals diagnosed with COPD has no effect on dyspnea. H1b: Breathing exercise applied to individuals diagnosed with COPD has an effect on dyspnea. H0c: Breathing exercise applied to individuals diagnosed with COPD has no effect on quality of life. H1c: Breathing exercise applied to individuals diagnosed with COPD has an effect on the quality of life.
