Intervention model description: The cases meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized and divided into three groups, the groups will be named as Telerehabilitation Exercise Group (TGr), Video Group (VGr) and Standard pulmonary rehabilitation group (SGr).
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of different exercise programs applied to 3 groups randomly formed in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (FILD).

Secondary purpose: To determine the feasibility and effectiveness of telerehabilitation in FILD cases.

Detailed description: The cases meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized and divided into three groups, the groups will be named as Telerehabilitation Exercise Group (TGr), Video Group (VGr) and Standard pulmonary rehabilitation group (SGr).TGr will be given online exercises, synchronized 2 days a week, and a home program for 1 day, accompanied by a physiotherapist, via videoconference on the group smartphone.After 1 session of online simultaneous exercise training in the company of a physiotherapist via a smart phone videoconference to the VGr group, an exercise video including the exercises will be sent to participants and the patients will be asked to do exercises 3 days a week. The participants will be asked to keep an exercise diary and the status of the diaries will be followed by phone call once a week.The SGr group will be applied the pulmonary rehabilitation program with supervision in the hospital 2 days a week, and participants will be asked to do exercises at home for 1 day. The exercise period will be 8 weeks for both groups.Details of the exercises to be applied to the cases are as follows: The exercise program includes aerobic, resistance exercises and breathing exercises.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Being between the ages of 18-75
* Have a diagnosis of fibrosing interstitial lung disease diagnosed according to the clinical diagnostic criteria of the American Thoracic and European Respiratory Societies (ATS-ERS).
* Presence of dyspnea on exertion Stable clinical state at the time of admission without infection or exacerbation in the previous 4 weeks
* Ability to use a smart phone

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with severe comorbid diseases, unstable coronary artery disease, collagen vascular diseases and needing high flow oxygen therapy (˃ 3-4 L \\min).
* history of effort-related syncope or any comorbidity (such as severe orthopedic or neurological deficits or unstable heart disease) that precludes exercise training.
* Participating in a pulmonary rehabilitation program within the past 12 months.
