Nintendo Wii Fit group work program; 13 exercises in 5 groups including 3 yoga exercises, 3 balance exercises, 2 aerobic, 2 training plus exercises and 3 muscle-workout will be done respectively. Patients in this group will exercise for 8 weeks, 3 days in a week and 40-50 minutes of exercise within resting interval.

Respiratory training group participants' will do deep breathing exercise against resistance of 30% of intraoral pressure. This exercise will be applied for 8 weeks, each day of the week, twice in a day for 15 minutes and 4-5 normal breaths after 4-5 deep breaths. Each week, intraoral pressure will be measured and new training intensity values will be determined.

Patients in the control group will not be included in any exercise program, but all groups will be advised of walking in order to increase physical activity level.

Older People

Nintendo Wii Fit group will perform including a series of yoga, balance, aerobics and muscle workout exercises by providing visual feedback on the TV screen with the Nintendo wii fit plus game console. Patients will perform these exercises in a room allocated to the thesis supervisor and together with the thesis supervisor physiotherapist. This process takes 40-50 minutes. Before starting test and after test, weight, blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation value will be recorded. Patients will be rested if necessary during exercise.

Patients in the breathing exercise group will perform deep breathing exercises at home by a small breathing apparatus called as Threshold IMT. It has no unexpected side effects.Patients will do this exercise twice in a day ; morning and evening during 15 minutes. After 4-5 deep breath, patients will take normal breath till feeling relaxed.

The Effectiveness of Nintendo Wii Fit and Inspiratory Muscle Training in Older Patients With Heart Failure

6MWT is used to determine functional exercise capacity, assess treatment efficacy, predict prognosis. This test is applied in a certain length corridor with the start and end point during 6 minute-walk. Before the test, patient is seated in a chair and rest for 10 minutes. Resting blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation value, dyspnea and fatigue score is recorded before and immediate after test. Before starting to test, patient is warned to tell if any problem is seen such as dizziness, pain, cramp. The patient is then asked to walk at a fast pace with a supervisor for 6 minutes. If the patient has a significant problem such as dizziness, pain, palpitation , the test is terminated immediately. At the end of test, how many meters the patient has walked for 6 minutes has recorded.

The Timed Up and Go test is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. It uses the time it takes for a person to get out of the chair, walk three meters, turn around, return to the chair and sit down.

The short physical performance battery (SPPB) is a group of measures that combines the results of the gait speed, chair stand and balance tests. It has been used as a predictive tool for possible disability and can aid in the monitoring of function in older people. The scores range from 0 (worst performance) to 12 (best performance). The SPPB has been shown to have predictive validity showing a gradient of risk for mortality, nursing home admission, and disability.

If the target participant is not reached, the working order can be changed.
