Official title
Is There a Relationship Between Balance and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Healthy Individuals?
Overview
The study aims to examine the acute effects of balance exercises on balance performance in healthy individuals. It will be conducted with healthy males and females aged 18-25. The research is an experimental study with a single-blind pre-test/post-test design. Initially, participants' balance will be assessed using the Single Leg Stance Test. Then, a short balance exercise program lasting 8-10 minutes will be applied. Exercises include single-leg stance, eyes-closed balance, and unstable surface training. After the exercise, the same test will be repeated to evaluate changes. Perceived exertion will be measured using the Modified Borg Scale. The collected data will be analyzed using SPSS software. The results are expected to contribute to improving balance, performance, and reducing injury risk.
Detailed description
This study aims to investigate the relationship between balance performance and respiratory muscle strength in healthy individuals. The study will be conducted on healthy adults aged 18-30 years. Participants will be informed about the study procedures and will provide written informed consent prior to participation. Demographic data including age, height, weight, and physical activity level will be recorded. Respiratory function will be assessed using spirometry, and respiratory muscle strength will be measured using maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP). Dyspnea level will be evaluated using the Modified Borg Scale. Vital parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation will be measured before and after assessments. Balance performance will be evaluated using the Y-Balance Test in three directions (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral). Additionally, core muscle endurance will be assessed using plank, side bridge, and sit-up tests. All measurements will be completed in a single session following a standardized protocol. The collected data will be statistically analyzed to determine the relationship between balance and respiratory muscle strength.
