SUMMARY

At least 20 volunteers with a diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension in the Department of Cardiology of Dokuz Eylul University and who meet the criteria for follow-up and inclusion will participate in the study. The aim of this study is to examine the acute effects of active video games compared to traditional exercise and the effects on energy expenditure and enjoyment in PD patients. Demographic and clinical information of the participants will be questioned. Active video games and home-based exercise sessions will be held randomly/by the same person with a break of at least 1 day in 1 week, lasting 20 minutes. Heart rate, blood pressure, shortness of breath and oxygen saturation will be measured before and after the sessions. In addition, energy expenditure, heart rate, perceived exertion, shortness of breath and oxygen saturation will be recorded during the sessions. In addition, arterial stiffness will be evaluated with a non-invasive device. At the end of the sessions, whether people like active video games or not will be questioned with a 10-point Likert-type scale.
