Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Exercise capacity	1st day	Will be evaluated with 6 minute walk test. After the test, total walking distance will be recorded.
Respiratory function	1st day	FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEF, FEF25-75 will be measured by lung function test.
Respiratory muscle strength	1st day	Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) will be measured using a mouth pressure device.
Musle function	1st day	Knee extensor and hand grip strength will be evaluated with a dynamometer.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Physical activity	1st day	Physical activity level will be evaluated using International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short form. This questionnaire lists activities and asks for estimates of the duration and frequency of each activity in the past week. The durations are multiplied by the MET value for each activity and the results for all items are summed to give an overall physical activity score.
