Both intervention groups will apply the given exercise program for 8 weeks. All participants will be evaluated 3 times in total, at the beginning of the treatment, at the 4th week and at the 8th week. Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire, Fatigue Severity Scale, Berlin Questionnaire, 6-minute walk test, Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) Dyspnea Scale, Functional Results of Sleep Scale (FOSQ) tests will be applied to the participants.
