Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Rehabilitation plays a very important role in the management of patients with COVID-19, focusing on respiratory and motor functions, and therefore the importance of establishing treatment strategies to ensure optimal recovery of these patients has been emphasized. It has been stated that physical activity recommendations should be clarified for the management of symptoms associated with prolonged COVID-19 Syndrome and for the continuation of activities of daily living. It has been stated that after COVID-19 pneumonia, it is necessary to evaluate the physical functions of patients with long-term follow-up and to establish rehabilitation programs. The importance of being included in the rehabilitation program was emphasized, especially for patients with lung fibrosis.

The primary aim of this study was to compare the effects of pulmonary telerehabilitation and physical activity recommendations on exercise capacity and peripheral muscle strength in patients with pulmonary fibrosis due to COVID-19.

The secondary aim of this study is to compare the effects of pulmonary telerehabilitation and physical activity recommendations on symptoms, activity and participation in patients with pulmonary fibrosis due to COVID-19.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation Group

A total of 24 sessions of breathing exercises and high-repetitive muscle endurance and strengthening exercises will be applied to the pulmonary telerehabilitation group for 8 weeks, two days a week and one day a week unsupervised, via online systems. High-repetition muscle endurance and strengthening exercises will be applied to large muscle groups of the lower and upper extremities by creating resistance with body weight and theraband.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

High repetition muscle endurance and strengthening exercises Walking

Physical Activity Group

Respiratory exercises and physical activity recommendations will be given to the physical activity group. Physical activity recommendations are; It will include information about the importance of physical activity and walking 3-5 days a week for at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity (4-6 on the Modified Borg scale of perceived exertion level).
