Overview
Brief Summary
This project was aimed to investigate cardiorespiratory fitness and the factors affecting cardiorespiratory fitness in healthy adults. The data obtained with this project will be normative values for the data obtained with CPET in healthy people.
Detailed Description
Cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the 'health-related physical fitness' components of physical fitness and can be expressed as 'the ability of the heart, lung and vascular system to deliver oxygen and nutrients to working muscles'. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a common procedure used to assess cardiopulmonary fitness, identify physiological factors limiting exercise, identify potential therapeutic targets for these factors, and evaluate the effects of an intervention. Therefore, in this project, it was aimed to investigate cardiorespiratory fitness and the factors affecting cardiorespiratory fitness in healthy adults. The data obtained with this project will be normative values for the data obtained with CPET in healthy people.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Time Frame: This test takes 15 to 20 minutes.
In this parameter, which is assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the oxygen consumption measured during the test and the workload achieved in the test will be taken into consideration.
Secondary Outcomes
- Respiratory Function Test(This test takes 3 to 5 minutes.)
- Respiratory Muscle Strength Test(This test takes 3 to 5 minutes.)
- Physical Activity(This questionnaire takes 1 minute.)
