简要总结
Most studies in the literature focus on musculoskeletal disorders and pain levels in occupational groups with repetitive workloads, such as textile workers. However, due to the nature of the work environment, decreased respiratory function and postural disorders are also frequently observed in these individuals. There is no comprehensive study in the literature that combines respiratory exercises, posture training, and ergonomics training for textile workers. Therefore, this study will examine the effects of a regular exercise program implemented alongside ergonomics training provided to textile workers on respiratory parameters, musculoskeletal disorders, posture, functionality, pain levels, and fatigue intensity.

研究组 & 干预措施
Home exercise group
This group will receive a brochure containing an exercise program they can do at home, along with training on ergonomics and posture.
干预措施: Home exercise (Other)
Supervised group
In this group, ergonomics and posture training will be taught in person, and exercise applications will be carried out in the form of supervised group exercises.
干预措施: Supervised Exercise (Other)
Control Group
In this group, no applications will be made; only assessments will be conducted at the beginning and end of the work.
结局指标
主要结局
6-Minute Walk Test
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks
The 6-Minute Walk Test is a practical and reliable field test used to assess an individual's submaximal aerobic capacity and functional exercise level. In the test, the participant walks as fast as possible, but at a safe pace, for 6 minutes on a flat corridor. The total distance covered during the test will be recorded in meters.
Respiratory Function
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks
A spirometer is an objective device used to measure lung air volumes and flow rates. This test is performed by the individual taking a deep breath and then blowing out forcefully, yielding various parameters. Spirometry results help identify obstructive (e.g., COPD, asthma) or restrictive (e.g., fibrosis) types of respiratory dysfunction. It is frequently used in clinical and occupational health settings, particularly to monitor respiratory function in individuals working in dusty environments such as textiles.
Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks
The Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire (NMQ) is a standardized self-report questionnaire developed to identify musculoskeletal disorders experienced by individuals in different body regions. It asks about pain, discomfort, or loss of function experienced in nine different body regions-neck, shoulder, back, waist, hip, knee, and wrist-over the past 12 months and the past 7 days. The questionnaire is widely used in the assessment of ergonomic risks and work-related musculoskeletal disorders. It is simple, quick to administer, and suitable for comparative analysis in large populations.
