Summary

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-cov-2). This study was planned as a single-blind randomized controlled pilot study to compare the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based exercise training applied to individuals with Covid-19. Individuals will be divided into two groups, the control group and the study group. All assessments will be made online twice, before and after treatment. Socio-demographic data of individuals who agreed to participate in the study, disease information about Covid-19, MRC Dyspnea Scale, COVID-19 Fear Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, ST. George Respiratory Questionnaire, Fatigue Severity Scale, Nottingham Health Profile will be questioned and recorded. The obtained data will be analyzed with statistical methods.

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Exercise	Home-based physical activity programs are very important to strengthen the immune system, which is extremely important in the fight against COVID-19 infection, and to protect physical and mental health. In addition, since the pulmonary rehabilitation sessions carry a high risk of transmission, it is recommended that the program be carried out with applications such as single-session training, tele-rehabilitation or home program. Although the home pulmonary rehabilitation program is adapted to the individual, it generally includes positioning, mobilization, relaxation exercises, respiratory training, respiratory muscle exercises, upper and lower extremity exercises, walking, climbing stairs and cycling exercises. The general opinion is that telerehabilitation practices have many benefits such as increasing the quality of life and physical activity. In addition to these benefits, telerehabilitation applications come to the fore in the Covid-19 period with its complementary feature.
