Comparison of Game-Based Breathing Exercise and Traditional Pursed Lip Breathing Exercise in Young Adults

Öz

Objective: The study explores the potential of game-based breathing exercises in improving respiratory functions, compared to traditional methods like pursed lip breathing. Pulmonary rehabilitation, widely acknowledged for its short-term benefits on conditions like dyspnea, exercise capacity, and quality of life, incorporates breathing exercises to enhance respiratory capacity and reduce the workload on the lungs. These exercises, including diaphragmatic breathing, are also effective in alleviating anxiety, improving pain thresholds, and lowering heart and respiratory rates. Methods: The research involved 40 participants aged 18-24, divided into two groups: a game-based exercise group and a traditional breathing group. Participants in the game-based group used the Breathing+ application, performing three 6-minute bouts per session with 2-minute rest intervals, twice a week for four weeks. The traditional group followed similar intervals with diaphragmatic and pursed lip breathing exercises. Data on respiratory rate, chest circumference, and heart rate were collected before and after the intervention, and statistical analyses compared the two groups. Results: The game-based group demonstrated significant improvements in respiratory rate and chest circumference compared to the traditional group. While both groups showed reductions in heart rate and respiratory rate, the game-based group achieved superior outcomes in enhancing chest wall mobility and reducing respiratory rate. Conclusion: Game-based breathing exercises are effective in improving respiratory functions, offering a motivating and engaging alternative to traditional methods. These findings suggest that game-based applications could play a significant role in respiratory rehabilitation.
