      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: For random selection, patients are selected based on three steps and based on the randomization table including creating a random allocation sequence, hiding the allocation, and executing the random allocation sequence. Then, the table of random numbers in a statistical book or random numbers generated by the computer is used, by which patients are randomly placed in the intervention group, Blinding description: Participant: Patients do not know whether they are in the intervention or control group and both groups are given exercise.
Clinical caregiver: does not know the demographic results and information of patients' respiratory tests and CPET
Consequence assessor: does not know the demographic status and type of intervention
The researcher is not blind and the study is double-blind.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention Group: Half of the patients with scleroderma with pulmonary involvement in the study undergo CPET and VO2MAX are measured and then, in addition to routine treatments, undergo 24 sessions of aerobic and anaerobic exercise, as well as 8 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation, and finally undergo CPET again, and patients' cardiopulmonary parameters will be evaluated. All patients complete the SHAQ shortness of breath and quality of life questionnaire at the beginning and end of the study. Intervention 2: Control group: Half of the patients with scleroderma with pulmonary involvement in the study undergo CPET and VO2MAX are measured and then, in addition to routine treatments, undergo 24 sessions of aerobic and anaerobic exercise and finally undergo CPET again, and patients' cardiopulmonary parameters will be evaluated. All patients complete the SHAQ shortness of breath and quality of life questionnaire at the beginning and end of the study.</i_freetext>
