The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of a-12-week virtual reality exercise program, applied as tele-exercise, on the exercise capacity of children with cystic fibrosis, whose physical activity level is further restricted during the pandemic. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does aerobic tele-exercise increase functional capacity in cystic fibrosis patients? Will there be a difference in treatment outcomes between the virtual reality group and the online exercise group? Participants will be randomized into two groups; virtual reality group and online group. Physical activity will be provided to the virtual reality group in the form of team activities in a virtual environment, and the other group will be provided online exercises at their home. For this purpose, virtual reality headsets will be provided to patients to give the impression of a natural, immersive environment and realistic experience. Researchers will compare exercise compliance and functional capacity between the virtual reality group and the online group.
