Summary

The diaphragm forms the upper segment of the core structure. At the same time, the diaphragm muscle acts as the first muscle in the inspiratory function. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between respiratory functions and trunk muscle endurance. In this context, respiratory muscle strengths, respiratory functions and body muscle endurance of the cases were measured.

Conditions

  • Respiratory Muscles and Core Stabilization

Interventions

OTHER

Assessment of Respiratory Muscle Strength

The maximal voluntary inspiratory (PImax) and expiratory (PEmax) pressure measurements of the subjects were performed using Cosmed Pony FX model (Italy 2001) while the subjects were in the sitting position with a nose clip.

OTHER

Spirometer

Spirometric measurements were conducted with Cosmed, Pony FX (descopt spirometer- Italy 2001) spirometer using a nose clips while the subjects were in 90 degree relaxed sitting position.

OTHER

Trunk Muscles Endurance Tests

Trunk muscle endurance of the subjects was measured using four different tests (Side Bridge Test- SBT, Prone Bridge Test- PBT, Flexor Endurance Test- FET, Sorenson Test- ST).
