Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT), which is used to strengthen the respiratory muscles, is one of the techniques used in PR. It is mostly used in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and has been shown to be beneficial for functionality and also for relieving dyspnea perception. It is reported in the guidelines that IMT has additional benefit for endurance in COPD patients. However, there are no studies related to its use and effectiveness in lung transplantation. In this study, investigators hoped to increase these known benefits by adding IMT to the standard Pulmonary Rehabilitation. There are two main objectives of this study: * to examine the effect of inspiratory muscle training on physical activity status and quality of life in lung transplantation candidates, * to compare physical activity and quality of life changes between the IMT+PR group and the PR group
