简要总结
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of practicing pranayam (voluntary regulated breathing) and yogasana (standing poses of yoga) with subject education on vital capacity, respiratory muscle strength, spinal flexibility, body awareness, quality of life and nicotine dependence of smokers and non-smokers.
详细描述
When initial assesments will be completed, volunteers will be assigned to one of two possible sequences by their nicotine dependency. Smokers group (SG) or control group (CG).
All volunteers will receive an exercise program with Asana and Pranayam practices with the duration of 4 weeks.
All subjects will be assessed in terms of functional capacity, pulmonary functions, thoracic spine range of motion, postural analysis, respiratory muscle strength, body awareness, quality of life and nicotine dependence at the baseline and at the end of the study. Data will be collected from all the subjects at baseline and at the end of the study (4 weeks) by the same physiotherapist who also will supervise the exercise sessions.

结局指标
主要结局
Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence
时间窗: 4 weeks
Nicotine dependence will be evaluated with this test
New York Posture Rating Chart
时间窗: 4 weeks
Different parts of body will be screened by the physiotherapist and observation data will be used to evaluate volunteers posture.
Thoracic Spine Range of Motion
时间窗: 4 weeks
Thoracic spinal elasticity will be evaluated with measuring rotational range of motion of T1-T2 spine using iPhone compass app. A strong and significant correlation was found between the Universel Goniometer and the Compass app by Furness et al. (2018), demonstrating good concurrent validity.
Pulmonary Function Tests
时间窗: 4 weeks
Medical International Research Spirodoc® Spiro spirometry will be used to evaluate pulmonary functions of volunteers.
Respiratory Muscle Strength
时间窗: 4 weeks
The Micro Medical Micro RPM respiratory pressure meter will be used to evaluate respiratory muscle strength.
World Health Organization Quality of Life Assesment (WHOQOL-BREF)
时间窗: 4 weeks
Turkish version of WHOQOL-BREF will be used in this study as given by WHO. This questionnaire will be used to provide numerical data on Quality of Life assesments of the volunteers.
Body Awareness Questionnaire(BAQ)
时间窗: 4 weeks
Body Awareness Questionnaire(BAQ) will be used to provide numerical data on subjects body awareness. A Turkish validity study of BAQ was performed by Karaca and it's valid as well as reliable.
