What this Trial Is About
This cross-sectional study was planned to investigate the effects of intercostal mobilization on respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function parameters, and performance in the ascending speed shuttle walking test. The study will be conducted in a prospective, randomized, controlled and double-blind design. A total of 90 healthy volunteers aged between 18-30 years with a sedentary lifestyle will be included in the study. The individuals will be divided into 3 groups as Intercostal Mobilization Group (n=30), Sham Application Group (n=30) and Control Group (n=30) by simple randomization. Sociodemographic Data Form, Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire, Pulmonary Function Test, Respiratory Muscle Strength Measurement (MIP/MEP), Incremental Shuttle Walking Test will be applied to the individuals before the intervention. After the intervention, only pulmonary function tests, respiratory muscle strength measurement and ISWT will be repeated. The study results are expected to contribute to the development of new evidence-based approaches to respiratory rehabilitation
