Overview
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.
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.
