About this study

Official title: The Effects of Auxiliary Respiratory Muscles Exercises and Core Stabilization Exercises on Maximum Oxygen Uptake and Pulmonary Function

Cardiopulmonary capacities of individuals are an indication of both the individual's exercise capacity and endurance. The most important indicator of cardiopulmonary capacity is maximum oxygen uptake and respiratory parameters. Auxiliary respiratory muscles exercises and core stabilization exercises have a place in increasing the maximum oxygen uptake. There are studies investigating the effects of respiratory muscle training and core stabilization training on maximum oxygen uptake in the literature. However, there is no study in the literature comparing the effects of auxiliary respiratory muscles exercises and core stabilization exercises on maximum oxygen uptake and respiratory parameters. Thanks to the findings to be obtained from our study, it is aimed to contribute to the literature with objective, evidence-based results in this field.

Read the detailed description

The study will be carried out on volunteers after the approval of the ethics committee. Before the research, individuals and / or their relatives will be informed about the purpose and content of the study. Volunteer individuals between the ages of 18-25 without any known health problems will be included in the study after obtaining their informed consent.

Participants will be randomly divided into three groups: control group, core stabilization exercises and auxiliary respiratory muscles exercises.

In the core stabilization exercises and auxiliary respiratory muscles exercises groups, exercises will be carried out under the supervision of a physiotherapist 3 days in a week separate time periods. Core stabilization exercise include, plank, lateral plank, swimmer, flutter kick and bridge exercises. Auxiliary respiratory exercises include, strengthening and stretching exercises for trapezius, sternocleidomastoideus, pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles. Our study will take 6 weeks. The demographic information of the participants will be recorded and the VO2max values of the participants before and after the study will be measured with the H / P Cosmos Mercury Med device using the balke protocol. Respiratory function tests of participants will be measured with Cosmed Fitmate Med device before and after the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline in Maximum oxygen uptake at 6 weeks

    the VO2max values of the participants before and after the study will be measured with the H / P Cosmos Mercury Med device using the Balke Ware protocol.

    Measured: Baseline and week 6

  2. Change from baseline in Pulmonary function tests at 6 weeks

    Forced expiratory volume in 1 second / forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), vital capacity and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) values of the participants will be measured with Cosmed Fitmate Med device before and after the study.

    Measured: Baseline and week 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Core exercises and Auxiliary respiratory exercises in people with Healthy, run by KTO Karatay University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in Maximum oxygen uptake at 6 weeks (time frame: Baseline and week 6). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Oct 2020.
