RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRUNK MUSCLE ENDURANCE, PULMONARY FUNCTION, AND RESPIRATORY MUSCLE STRENGTH IN HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS

Abstract

Purpose: Trunk muscles are acrive in the forceful expiration, and trunk this study aimed to examine the relationship between pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, and trunk muscle endurance. Methods: The study was conducted with 60 volunteer and healthy individuals whose ages varied between 20 and 36 years. Pulmonary function and maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure (MIP and MEP) were measured using a desktop spirometer. Trunk muscle endurance of the subjects was evaluated using the prone bridge, side bridge, flexor endurance, and Sorensen tests. Results: A positive significant relationship was observed between the percentage of forced vital capacity (%FVC) and prone bridge (r=0.395, p=0.002), flexor endurance (r=0.256, p=0.049), and Sorensen (r=0.255, p=0.049) tests. Likewise, a positivesignificant correlation was found between the percentage of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (%FEV1) and prone bridge (r=0.408, p=0.001), flexor endurance (r=0.358, p=0.005), and side bridge (r=0.277, p=0.032) tests. The results revealed a positive relationship between MIP and prone bridge (r=0.376, p=0.003) and side bridge tests (r=0.470, p<0.001). Likewise, there was a positive correlation between MEP and prone bridge test (r=0.401, p=0.004) and side bridge test (r=0.365 p=0.002). Conclusion: Pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength are associated with the endurance of the trunk muscles, which ensure core stability. Trunk muscle endurance exercises may have a positive influence on respiratory function.

SAĞLIKLI OLGULARDA GÖVDE KAS ENDURANSI, SOLUNUM FONKSİYONLARI VE SOLUNUM KAS KUVVETİ İLİŞKİSİ

Öz

Amaç: Gövde kasları zorlu ekspirasyon ve gövde stabilizasyonunda aktiftir. Bu çalışmanın amacı solunum kas kuvveti, solunum fonksiyon testi değerleri ve gövde kas enduransı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemekti. Yöntem: Çalışma yaşları 20 ile 36 yıl arasında değişen 60 sağlıklı gönüllü üzerinde yapıldı. Olguların maksimum inspiratuar ve ekspiratuar kas kuvveti (MIP ve MEP) ve solunum fonksiyon testi masaüstü spirometre ile değerlendirildi. Bireylerin gövde kas enduransı yüzüstü köprü, yan köprü, fleksör endurans ve Sorensen testleri ile belirlendi. Sonuçlar: Zorlu vital kapasite yüzdesi (%FVC) ile yüzüstü köprü (r=0,395, p=0,002), fleksor endurans (r=0,256, p=0,049) ve Sorensen testleri (r=0,255 p=0,049) arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki tespit edildi. Birinci saniyedeki zorlu ekspiratuar volüm (%FEV1) ile yüz üstü köprü (r=0,408, p=0,001), fleksör endurans (r=0,358, p=0,005) ve yan köprü testleri (r=0,277, p=0,032) arasında pozitif anlamlı korelasyon bulundu. MIP ile yüz üstü köprü (r=0,376, p=0,003) yan köprü testleri (r=0,470, p<0,001) arasında pozitif ilişki saptandı. MEP ile yüzüstü köprü (r=0,401, p=0,002) ve yan köprü (r=0,365, p=0,004) testleri arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı korelasyon olduğu bulundu. Tartışma: Solunum fonksiyonları ve solunum kas kuvveti ile gövde stabilizasyonu sağlayan kasların enduransı ilişkilidir. Gövde kas enduransı egzersizlerinin solunum fonksiyonlarına pozitif yönde etki edebileceği söylenebilir.
