  2. Changes in pulmonary function

    Differences in forced expiratory volume measured by spirometry.

    Measured: At 3rd month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Respiratory Infections

    Differences measured by number of infections and hospital readmission rate.

    Measured: At 1st, 2nd, 3rd month

  2. Muscular Strength

    Differences measured by hand-grip strength.

    Measured: At 3rd month.

  3. Exercise Tolerance

    Differences measured by six minutes walk test.

    Measured: At 3th month

  4. Quality of Life of the participants
