A 6-min walk test, peripheral and respiratory muscle strength measurements, and a dyspnea rating scale Mmrc will be applied to the lung transplantation candidates who are trained in 3-month hospital-based preoperative exercise training in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation unit. The tests will be carried out at the beginning and end of rehabilitation.

A 6-min walk test, peripheral and respiratory muscle strength measurements, and a dyspnea rating scale Mmrc will be applied to the lung transplantation candidates who are trained in 3-month hospital-based preoperative exercise training in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation unit. The tests will be carried out at the beginning and end of rehabilitation.

Muscle strength will measure using a digital dynamometer (J-Tech Commander muscle testing device), wth three measurements make. Best result will be taken.

It was measured with hydraulic hand dynamometer calibrated in lbs.

The mouth pressure measurement was performed with the Micro-RPM® instrument from SensorMEDIC. Patient placed a rubber mouthpiece with flanges, on the device, sealed their lips firmly around the mouthpiece, exhaled/inhaled slowly and completely, and then tried to breath in as hard as possible. The patient was allowed to rest for about a minute and the maneuver was repeated five times. Verbal or visual feedback was provided after each maneuver. The aim is that the variability between measurements is less than 10 cm H2O. The maximum value was obtained.

The test was conducted in a 30-meter corridor in line with American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines. Patients were told that they should walk as fast as they can walk. Before and after the test, oxygen saturation, heart rate, Borg fatigue rating, and walking distance were recorded.

The mMRC Dyspnea Scale is best used to establish baseline functional impairment due to dyspnea attributable to respiratory disease; tracking the mMRC over time or with therapeutic interventions is of less certain clinical utility.The severity of dyspnea is rated on a scale of 0 to 4. "O" means no dyspnea perception, "4" means severe dyspnea perception.
