简要总结
This non-randomized controlled study evaluates a 10-week breathing and myofascial release program in university athletes. The intervention group receives structured training, while the control group receives only an informational brochure.
详细描述
This study is designed as an experimental intervention trial. The intervention group will consist of players from the Marmara University American Football Team, while the control group will include players from the Boğaziçi University American Football Team. The intervention will be conducted over a 10-week period and will include a total of eight sessions.
The intervention program will comprise diaphragmatic breathing techniques, including box breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, deep breathing, and vagal stimulation, as well as self-myofascial release techniques applied using a foam roller. The program has been developed through a multidisciplinary collaboration involving a physiotherapist, a specialist physician, and a coach. Adherence to the exercise program will be monitored using structured exercise diaries.
The control group will receive only an informational brochure describing the content of the training program, without any structured practical training.

Non-intervention group
Participants in the control group were informed solely through the distribution of an informational brochure.
Breathing and progressive muscle relaxation intervention group
Over a 10-week period, participants will receive eight sessions including diaphragmatic breathing techniques (box breathing, deep breathing, and vagal stimulation) as well as self-myofascial release exercises using a foam roller.
干预措施: Integrated Breathing-Myofascial Program (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index,
时间窗: Measurements will be collected at baseline (month 0) and at the end of the 10th week.
Sleep quality will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a validated questionnaire with scores ranging from 0 to 21, where higher scores indicate worse sleep quality.
Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale
时间窗: Measurements will be collected at baseline (month 0) and at the end of the 10th week.
Psychological well-being will be measured using the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale. Higher scores indicate better psychological well-being.
