RECRUITINGRespiratory muscle strength
Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) will be measured using a portable mouth pressure measuring device.
Time frame: 1st day
Respiratory muscle strength
Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) will be measured using a portable mouth pressure measuring device.
Time frame: 1st day
Functional capacity
Will be evaluated with 6 minute walk test.
Time frame: 1st day
Peripheral muscle strength
Knee extensor strength will be measured using a hand dynamometer.
Time frame: 1st day
Peripheral muscle strength
Hand grip strength will be measured using grip dynamometer.
Time frame: 1st day
Forced expiratory volume in one second
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Forced expiratory volume in one second will be recorded.
Time frame: 1st day
Forced vital capacity
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Forced vital capacity will be recorded.
Time frame: 1st day
Forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity will be recorded.

Time frame: 1st day
Peak expiratory flow
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Peak expiratory flow will be recorded.
Time frame: 1st day
Forced mid-expiratory flow
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Forced mid-expiratory flow (FEF25-75) will be recorded.
Time frame: 1st day
Body composition
It will be evaluated by bioelectrical impedance analysis method. Percentage of fat and lean body mass wiil be recorded.
Time frame: 1st day
Fragility
It will be assessed according to the criteria defined by Fried. The existence of 5 parameters is questioned here. These parameters are as follows: weight loss, weakness, fatigue, slowness, low physical activity. Those with 3 or more of the 5 identified components are classified as fragile.
Time frame: 1st day
