ACUTE EFFECT OF INSPIRATORY MUSCLE WARM UP PROTOCOL ON DYNAMIC AND STATIC BALANCE PERFORMANCE

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the acute effect of inspiratory muscle warm-up protocol on dynamic and static balance performance. For this purpose, 17 sedentary individuals participated whose ages were between 20-26 years old. On different days, right static, left static, right dynamic and left dynamic tests were applied to the subjects randomly after control, placebo and experimental protocol. PowerBreathe brand inspiratory training device was used for inspiratory warming and Biodex Balance SD isokinetic balance test mechanism was used for measurement. The data obtained as a result of the test were analyzed by using the SPSS package program version 22.0. The data obtained were analyzed separately for General balance, Anterior-Posterior (A-P) balance and Medial-Lateral (M-L) balance groups. According to the result obtained, while the inspiratory warming protocol created a significant positive effect in some balance groups, it did not create a significant effect in some balance groups. Therefore, it can be said that the inspiratory warming protocol affects some balance parameters but this effect is not a level that can directly benefit the performance.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0938/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
