简要总结
The goal of this randomized-controlled study is to compare the effects of diaphragmatic breathing exercise training provided by a physiotherapist and aerobic exercise training applied in addition to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training provided by a physiotherapist on respiratory functions and voice performance in choir singers.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
- Is diaphragmatic breathing exercise training provided by a physiotherapist effective in improving the respiratory functions of choir singers?
- Is diaphragmatic breathing exercise training provided by a physiotherapist effective in improving the vocal performance of choir singers?
- Does aerobic exercise training applied in addition to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training provided by a physiotherapist have a greater effect on improving the respiratory functions of choir singers compared to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training applied alone?
- Does aerobic exercise training applied in addition to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training provided by a physiotherapist have a greater effect on improving the vocal performance of choir singers compared to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training applied alone?
The research data are going to be collected by Sociodemographic Information Form, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, Self-Performance Evaluation Questionnaire, Vocal Fatigue Index, Singing Voice Handicap Index, measurement of maximum phonation time, pulmonary function test, maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure measurement, and 6-minute walk test.
详细描述
In this study, it will be examined whether aerobic exercise training applied in addition to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training provided by a physiotherapist improves respiratory functions and voice performance in choir singers more, when compared to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training applied alone.
The participants will be randomly divided into three groups: diaphragmatic breathing exercise training group, aerobic exercise training group applied in addition to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training, and control group.

结局指标
主要结局
FEV1/FVC
时间窗: This outcome will be evaluated twice: before starting the exercise program and after implementing the exercise program for 8 weeks.
Pulmonary function test with a spirometer will be performed on all participants to assess forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity.
Slow vital capacity
时间窗: This outcome will be evaluated twice: before starting the exercise program and after implementing the exercise program for 8 weeks.
Pulmonary function test with a spirometer will be performed on all participants to assess slow vital capacity.
Maximal voluntary ventilation
时间窗: This outcome will be evaluated twice: before starting the exercise program and after implementing the exercise program for 8 weeks.
Pulmonary function test with a spirometer will be performed on all participants to assess maximal voluntary ventilation.
Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure
时间窗: This outcome will be evaluated twice: before starting the exercise program and after implementing the exercise program for 8 weeks.
An electronic respiratory pressure meter will be used to calculate maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure
Maximum phonation time
时间窗: This outcome will be evaluated twice: before starting the exercise program and after implementing the exercise program for 8 weeks.
Each participant will be asked to say the vowels "a, e, i, o, u" at their most comfortable pitch for as long as possible, and the time they can say them will be determined by a stopwatch.
次要结局
