The allocation sequence will be generated with the help of the software's random functions (RAND) and participants will be placed equally and randomly in two groups in blocks of four. The final allocation will be made by someone outside the implementation team and through prepared lists to prevent any bias. Measures will be taken to control and reduce possible measurement errors in the pre-test and post-test stages. All tests will be performed by a fixed and trained examiner to prevent errors. N/A Chronic complications of chemical warfare exposure (elderly chemical veterans). Intervention 1: Intervention group: The group's exercises will be performed three days a week for 8 weeks. The video exercise program will be provided through web-based platforms such as Telegram or WhatsApp. First, the researcher will perform each exercise personally and provide the necessary explanations during the exercise. Then, the video of this performance will be made available to the subjects, and after each exercise session, the subjects will send the video of the exercise performance to the researcher. The exercise program of the intervention group will include the following steps: Warm-up (5-7 minutes) / Aerobic exercises (10-12 minutes) / Strength exercises (10-12 minutes) / Balance and flexibility exercises (8-10 minutes) / Relaxation and cooling down (3-5 minutes). Participants are required to complete the weekly monitoring form. This form includes the following: Days of exercise / Type of exercise performed (aerobic, strength, balance, stretching) Approximate duration of exercise / Physical feeling after exercise (comfort, fatigue, pain, etc.) Obstacles or problems in performing the exercises. Participation in at least 75% of training sessions is considered acceptable adherence. Intervention 2: Control group: During the eight-week intervention, participants in the control group will continue their normal daily activities. They are allowed to do light activities such as walking or housework but should not participate in any structured exercise or rehabilitation program. Weekly monitoring will be done by telephone, and if interventions similar to the main intervention are initiated, the subject's continued participation in the study will be reviewed. Undecided - It is not yet known if there will be a plan to make this available Justification or reason for indecision in sharing IPD is No further information available.
