Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of dual-task performance on motor and cognitive functions and to determine the effect of dual-task exercises given together with the pulmonary rehabilitation program on cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal parameters in COPD.

The main question\[s\]it aims to answer are:

* Is dual-task performance in individuals with COPD different from healthy individuals?
* Are dual-task exercises affect cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal parameters in individuals with COPD? Patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups (Pulmonary Rehabilitation Group, Dual Task Exercises Group). 8-week exercise program will include pulmonary rehabilitation and dual-task exercise group will do their walking and cycling exercises as dual task with another cognitive exercise.

Researchers also will compare (Pulmonary Rehabilitation Group, Dual Task Exercises Group) to see if there is a difference in cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal parameters.

Researchers also will compare \[COPD patients and Healthy Controls\] to see if there is a difference in dual-task performance.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Dual Task Exercises

Cognitive exercises to be added during walking and balance exercises will be given as a dual task. Cognitive exercises will consist of exercises for memory, executive functions, calculation, information processing speed (reaction time) and working memory areas. Cognitive exercises such as grouping the words given, giving appropriate answers to the simple situations described, simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and asking the words that the patient is asked to remember before the exercise will be used. Cognitive exercises will be performed simultaneously with walking and balance exercises.

OTHER

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Pulmonary Rehabilitation content; relaxation exercises, stretching exercises, strengthening exercises, walking exercises, cycling exercises, balance exercises. Exercise intensity will be planned as moderate intensity. Walking and cycling exercises will have warm-up and cool-down periods.
