The participants were randomly allocated into three groups: telerehabilitation (TRG), home exercise (HEG), and control (CG). Dyspnea level, exercise capacity, muscle oxygenation, respiratory function, and fatigue were evaluated at baseline, at 6th, and at 12th weeks. Telerehabilitation was performed supervised and synchronously via video-calls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At the 6-week assessment, TRG showed significant improvements in dyspnea, fatigue (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), exercise capacity (p\u2009=\u20090.001), and respiratory muscle strength (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). By the 12th week, these gains were maintained, with no further changes from week 6. In HEG, dyspnea and fatigue improved at weeks 6 and 12 (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), with no additional changes between these time points. In CG, only dyspnea improved at both assessments (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001); other parameters remained unchanged. TRG achieved greater benefits compared to CG in reducing dyspnea and fatigue at week 6 (p\u2009=\u20090.001 and p\u2009=\u20090.003, respectively), but no group differences were found at week 12 (p\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). No changes in muscle oxygenation were observed in any groups or evaluation points (p\u2009&gt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Telerehabilitation effectively improved and sustained dyspnea, fatigue, respiratory muscle strength, and exercise capacity in patients with post-COVID, while home-based exercises only reduced dyspnea and fatigue.
