The Effect of Respiratory Muscle Exercises Applied to Smoking Athletes on Respiratory Parameters

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of respiratory muscle exercises on respir-atory parameters of smoking athletes. Thirty athletes between the ages of 18-24 years who have been doing licensed sports for at least 5 years participated in the study voluntarily. The participants were divided into 3 groups as smokers and respiratory muscle exercising group [SG, (n=10)], non-smokers and respiratory muscle exercising group [NG, (n=10)], smokers and non-smoker control group [CG, (n=10)]. Respiratory parameters of all groups were determined with a spirometer. Participants in SG and NG performed respiratory muscle exercises with the triflo respiratory muscle exerciser 120 times a day for 4 weeks, 2 sets in the morning and evening every day and 30 times in each set. In the analysis of the data, two-way ANOVA test for repeated measures was applied to examine the results of different protocols (SG, NG and CG), pre-test and post-test measurements and proto-col*time interaction effect. As a result of the study, FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF and MVV parameters of NG increased in favor of the post-test, while there was no statistically sig-nificant difference between the groups. However, when the percentage improvements were analyzed, it was determined that the highest improvement in all parameters was in NG.
