Intercostal Muscle Oxygenation During Exercise Tests

Recruiting

• Conditions: Muscle Oxygenation
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: Six Minute Walking Test; Diagnostic Test: Shuttle walking test

• Registration Number: NCT06410638
• Lead Sponsor: Istanbul Medipol University Hospital

Brief Summary

The aim of our study is to determine the effects of different exercise capacity tests on intercostal muscle oxygenation and to reveal the effect of changing accessory respiratory muscle oxygenation on exercise test success.

Detailed Description

In the study, intercostal muscle oxygenation will be measured in different exercise capacity tests. A total of 32 healthy young women and men between the ages of 18-25 who meet the inclusion criteria and voluntarily agree to participate in the study will be included in the study. The cases will be randomized into 2 groups: Six minute walking test group and incremental shuttle walking test group. Heart rate, oxygen saturation, and fatigue levels will be measured with the modified Borg scale before and after the tests. During the tests, oxygen levels of the intercostal muscles will be monitored with the MOXY device. After sufficient wash out time, the groups will be crossed and different exercise tests will be applied to the cases. The result of our study will provide information about the use of intercostal muscles during different exercise tests. As a result of the study, results that can be interpreted for patient groups with circulatory system, respiratory system and physical limitations will be obtained.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Healthy subjects	Shuttle walking test	-
Healthy subjects	Six Minute Walking Test	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Evaluation of Muscle Oxygenation of intercostal muscles	During intervention	The measurement will be made with the MOXY device. The device will be placed on the intercostal muscle and measurements will be taken during the exercise tests. Measured values at the beginning, end and every 1 minute will be taken and analyzed.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Evaluation of heart rate	During the intervention	It will be measured with a pulse oximeter.
Evaluation of blood pressure	During the intervention	Sistolik and diastolic blood pressure will be measured with the Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
Forced expiratory pressure in one second	Baseline	It will be performed with Cosmed Pony Fx (Italy) desktop spirometry device.
Evaluation of oxygen saturation	During the intervention	It will be measured with a pulse oximeter.
Forced vital capacity	Baseline	It will be performed with Cosmed Pony Fx (Italy) desktop spirometry device.
