Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the acute effect of the foam roller (FR) method applied to the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle after respiratory muscle fatigue on joint range of motion (ROM), accessory respiratory muscle activity and muscle strength.

The aim of this study is to examine the changes in fatigue and pain symptoms by applying relaxation on the tense fascia and shortened muscle as a result of resistance training, and the effect of these changes in the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle on joint range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength in healthy male or female participants aged 18-30.

In line with the investigators' results, it may be recommended to add foam roller (FR) to the accessory respiratory muscles in the pulmonary rehabilitation program in patients with chronic lung diseases. For this reason, the investigators think that it will provide clinical and scientific benefits.

The investigators believe that it will lead studies to add foam roller (FR) to the pulmonary rehabilitation program in patients with chronic lung diseases. Participants will be informed about the risks and benefits of participating in the study and a voluntary consent form will be signed. Participants will be given a demographic data form before starting the study and will be asked to fill it out. The hypermobility value will be measured according to the Beighton score before the participants start the tests. After the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) study, foam roller (FR) will be applied to the right sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle. A one week washout period will be given. Afterwards, the cases will be applied foam roller (FR) to the left sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle after the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) study. All evaluation parameters will be repeated before and after the applications. Maximum inspiratory pressure measurement, range of motion (ROM) measurements, muscle strength tests, flexibility with a myotony measuring device, electromyography (EMG) measurements will be made before the study one by one.

  • Inspiratory Muscle Training

Interventions

DEVICE

Foam roller

In foam roller application, a partitioned FR from the Trigger Point Grid 2.0 brand, measuring 33x14 cm and weighing 0.9 kg, with an inner part made of polyvinylchloride (PVC), will be used. Participants will roll the segmented FR with slight flexion-extension by placing the FR on the SCM muscle to apply FR from the starting point to the end point of that muscle region for the selected SCM muscle, with the person in the side stance position against the wall. This action will consist of 3 sets of 1 minute each, with a 30-second rest period between each set. It will be applied once for each region, including the right and left SCM muscle.

DEVICE

Inspiratory muscle training

Inspiratory muscle training will be done with a resistive exercise device at 80% of MIP max and for 30 breaths.
