The patients who were admitted to the study at the same time were assigned to different treatment groups. This method of randomization was used to ensure that the patients in the two groups were similar in terms of their time of admission, which could affect the outcome of the study. N/A Post COVID-19 condition. Intervention group: pulmonary rehabilitation and additional progressive muscle relaxation techniques. The patients performed the pulmonary rehabilitation program for 21 days, twice a day. The pulmonary rehabilitation program included: gradual aerobic conditioning, strength training focusing on the major muscle groups, and breathing exercises with an emphasis on pursed lip breathing, double inhale breathing, and chest expansion exercises. The intervention group engaged in additional daily 20-minute PMR sessions focusing on progressively tensing and then relaxing major muscle groups, starting from the hands and moving up through the body, while maintaining slow, deep breathing. The program involved tensing the muscle group for 5 seconds and then releasing and relaxing for 20 seconds..
