Most people who have coronavirus disease (COVID-19) recover completely without any sequelae. However, some patients continue to experience symptoms of COVID-19 even though their tests turn negative. This clinical spectrum that occurs after acute infection is called the post-COVID syndrome (PCS). Dyspnea, pain, decreased exercise capacity, limitations in activities of daily living, poor sleep quality, anxiety and depression are common symptoms in PCS. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of tele-rehabilitation-based exercise program on dyspnea, pain, functional capacity, sleep quality, anxiety and depression in individuals with PCS.

| Prescribed Exercise Program | Other | The prescribed exercise program will be performed two times a week for six consecutive weeks. Program including the following exercises: Breathing exercises Aerobic exercises Flexibility Strengthening exercises |
|
| Change from the baseline to the 6th week in the 5 times sit to stand test (5XSST) | The 5XSST scoring is based on the amount of time (to the nearest decimal in seconds) a patient is able to transfer from a seated to a standing position and back to sitting five times. The equipment need in performing 5XSST test includes: Stopwatch and standard height chair with straight back. | Baseline and 6th week |
| Change from the baseline to the 6th week in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale | The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was devised to measure anxiety and depression in a general medical population of patients. The questionnaire comprises seven questions for anxiety and seven questions for depression, and takes 2-5min to complete. Although the anxiety and depression questions are interspersed within the questionnaire, it is vital that these are scored separately. | Baseline and 6th week |
| Change from the baseline to the 6th week in the The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index | The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a measure of self-reported sleep quality and sleep disturbance. Scoring Using a four-point, Likert-type scale, respondents indicate how frequently they exhibit certain sleep behaviors (0 = "few," 1 = "some- times," 2 = "often," and 3 = "almost always"). The PSQI takes about 10 minutes to complete and it doesn't involve any procedures or interventions. | Baseline and 6th week |
