Summary

This study aims to determine the effects of balloon inflation and pursed-lip breathing exercises, in addition to the forward-leaning position, on physiological parameters in individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

The hypotheses of the study are as follows:

H1\_1: The forward-leaning position and balloon inflation breathing exercise have a positive effect on physiological parameters in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

H1\_2: The forward-leaning position and pursed-lip breathing exercise have a positive effect on physiological parameters in patients with COPD.

H1\_3: There is a significant difference in physiological parameters between the balloon inflation and pursed-lip breathing exercise groups and the control group.

Within this scope, the study will be conducted with three groups:

Intervention Group 1: Balloon inflation exercise applied in addition to the forward-leaning position.

Intervention Group 2: Pursed-lip breathing exercise applied in addition to the forward-leaning position.

Control Group: Standard practice implemented in the institution where the study is conducted.

Participants:

* A home exercise program will be designed for both intervention groups, allowing them to perform the exercises independently each day.
* The exercises will start with three sessions per day and will be increased by one session each week, continuing for a total of four weeks.
* Participants will visit the outpatient clinic in the 4th week for assessments and tests.
* Patients will be contacted weekly by the researcher via phone to ensure adherence to the program.
