Study Overview
Brief Summary
A volleyball player with high respiratory muscle endurance can perform at a high level of efficiency during competitions without experiencing fatigue. However, no study has been found in the literature examining respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, cough strength and balance parameters in adolescent volleyball players which was therefore aimed to investigate the potential relationship between these parameters in this study.
Detailed Description
Professional sports performance in adolescent volleyball players who have not yet completed their developmental period may be affected in terms of respiratory muscle strength and endurance, cough strength and balance. However, no study has been found in the literature investigating the relationship between respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, cough strength and balance in adolescent volleyball players and these parameters. Therefore, the aim of our study is to determine the relationship between respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, cough strength and balance in adolescent volleyball players.

Arms & Interventions
Adolescent Volleyball Players
The group consists of volleyball players who have been actively playing volleyball for at least 1 year and between the ages of 10 and 19
Intervention: Physical Evaluations in Players (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Respiratory muscle strength assessment
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Respiratory muscle strength will be measured using a portable spirometer. The pressure will be recorded during a few seconds of maximal inspiration (Müller maneuver) or expiration (Valsalva maneuver) through the mouth.The high value obtained indicates good muscle strength.
Secondary Outcomes
- Respiratory muscle endurance assessment(through study completion, an average of 1 year)
- Evaluation of Cough Strength(through study completion, an average of 1 year)
- Balance Assessment(through study completion, an average of 1 year)
