Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Chronic respiratory questionnaire	The chronic respiratory questionnaire has 20 items spread over four domains: dyspnea (5 items), tiredness (4 items), emotional function (7 items), and mastery. It can be administered by an interviewer or self-administered (4 items). Patients complete a 7-point rating scale on this form, with 1 being the worst possible experience and 7 being the best possible one (no impairment)	40 Days
Primary	Physical activity via IPAQ	Any voluntary skeletal muscle-driven movement that involves an energy cost is referred to as physical activity. All activities, regardless of intensity or time of day or night, can be considered physical activity. Both physical activity and unplanned activities incorporated into everyday routines are included . International Physical Activity Questionnaire short from will be utilized to measure level of physical activity. It consists of 7 items which ask about the activity of the last 7 days	40 Days
Primary	Quality of life - Sf 12	The World Health Organization defines quality of life as "a person's view of their place in life in relation to their objectives, aspirations, standards, and concerns in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live." (20) . QOL will be assess via SF-12 Questionnaire. The SF-12 is a self-reported outcome measure that evaluates how one's health affects their day-to-day activities	40 Days
Primary	Body mass index	The body mass index (BMI) is a measurement that is based on a person's height and weight. The BMI is calculated by dividing the body weight by the square of the height, and it is expressed in kilograms per square meter (kg/m2) since weight is measured in kilograms and height is measured in meters	40 Days
Primary	Borg Scale	It is generally recognised that the Borg rating of perceived exertion scale is a reliable tool for determining perceived effort for a range of exercise modalities. The Borg scale (6-20) is intended to provide you with an approximation of your degree of effort based on your real heart rate when exercising. To determine your predicted heart rate, multiply your RPE by 10	40 Days
Primary	Level of satisfaction scale	It is a question that ranges from one extreme attitude to another using a 5 or 7- point scale that is sometimes referred to as a satisfaction scale. Very satisfied, Satisfied, Neither satisfied nor unsatisfied, Dissatisfied, and Very dissatisfied are examples of common responses on a 5-point Likert scale used to gauge satisfaction	40 Days
Primary	Self-Structure open ended Questions	Self-structured questionnaire was designed after reviewing the literature and with the help of experts in the field. it includes open ended questions, These questions will be asked in interview form from both the groups i.e Traditional Center Based Pulmonary Rehabilitation group and Tele Rehabilitation group, in which views on exercise, disease education, social contact, activity, accessibility, and support for participation will be assessed. This self-structured questionnaire will be a type of cognitive interview from both the groups.	40 Days
