About this study
Official title: Short And Long Term Effects Of Breathing Exercises on Reaction Time: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The aim of the study was to investigate the short and long-term effects of breathing exercises on reaction time.
Read the detailed description
A total of 40 participants who volunteered to participate in the study from the students of the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health Sciences, Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups using a simple random numbers table. The study group (15 people) will be given respiratory exercises (12 sessions). The control group (15 people) will receive no intervention. In the study, after the demographic characteristics of the participants are obtained, reaction time will be evaluated with auditory and visual reaction tests and upper extremity reaction tests. All evaluations are planned to take a total of 15 minutes.
The same assessments will be performed in both groups. To measure the long-term effect, after the initial evaluations are completed, the study group will be given a total of 12 sessions of breathing exercises for 4 weeks (3 days a week). After 4 weeks, both groups will be evaluated again. To measure the short-term effect, the respiratory exercise program will be started after the 1st evaluation in the study group, and the 2nd evaluation will be made after the first session.
Canan Demir will perform breathing exercises, and the other researchers who will evaluate will not know which group the participants are in. In this way, the study will be single-blinded.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
breathing exercisesOther
After the initial 5 minutes of relaxed breathing, the participants will perform diaphragmatic and costal breathing for 10 minutes. .5 diaphragmatic breathing will be done in 1 minute.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Breathing exercises | Experimental | First evaluation - breathing exercises (1 session) - second evaluation - breathing exercises (11 sessions) - third evaluation Receives: Other: breathing exercises |
| No exercise | No intervention | First evaluation - no intervention (1 session) - second evaluation - no intervention (11 sessions) - third evaluation |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Finger reaction test
By placing the dominant hand index finger on the left button of a computer mouse, the participant will be asked to press the left button as soon as the traffic light pattern glows green on the screen.
Measured: 4weeks
Upper extremity reaction test
Upper extremity reaction test: It is planned to use a validated BlazePod sensor for upper extremity reaction time test
Measured: 4weeks
Auditory Reaction Test
Auditory reaction time will be assessed with the playback.fm (https://playback.fm/audio-reaksiyon-time) test. Subjects will be asked to press the 'space bar' key each time they hear a sound. After five applications, data will be taken from the output page and the average reaction time will be calculated.
Measured: 4weeks
