简要总结
Previous studies have been done just in studying the relationship between breathing technique and obesity and described how it proved helpful in decreasing body fat. This study will be very helpful for future researchers as well as in filling the literature gap by explaining the importance of SBE (Senobi Breathing Exercise) in correlation with increased body fat, compromised lung function and depression in females of age from 30 to 60 years.
详细描述
The study is quasi-experimental study, which is being conducted in a private clinical settings in Khushab. Sample size of 20 individuals was calculated using Hamilton Depression Scale with effect size 0.97 G Power 3.1.9.2 software. The study participants will be screened first, then trained to perform SBE(1-minute maneuver). Participants will be instructed to stand upright and tighten their gluteal muscle and then ask them to put one foot in front of their body and placing most of their body weight on back foot. Then, ask them to breath in for three seconds simultaneously, by raising their hands in the air above their heads. After this, instruct them to exhale by using their whole body for pushing air out of the lungs. Participants will also guided to tighten all their body muscles while pushing air out. Exhale should last for seven seconds. The participants will also guided to repeat this procedure 3 times in one minute with resting period of 10 seconds. They will perform it 3 times a day for 3 months. Assessments will be taken at Baseline & after 3 months.

结局指标
主要结局
Lung volume
时间窗: changes from Baseline to 3 Months
Digital spirometry will be used to assess Lung Volumes and capacities
waist to hip ratio
时间窗: changes from Baseline to 3 Months
Participant is asked to Stand up straight and breathe out. tape measure will be used to check the distance around the smallest part of your waist, just above your belly button. This is waist circumference. Then we will measure the distance around the largest part of your hips - the widest part of your buttocks. This is hip circumference.Waist Hip ratio will be calculated by dividing waist circumference to hip circumference
Body Fat
时间窗: changes from Baseline to 3 Months
Body Fat Analyzer will be used to assess percent of body fat
次要结局
- Hamilton Depression rating Scale(changes from Baseline to 3 Months)
