Exercise Program Combined With Ergonomic Training in Textile Workers

Most studies in the literature focus on musculoskeletal disorders and pain levels in occupational groups with repetitive workloads, such as textile workers. However, due to the nature of the work environment, decreased respiratory function and postural disorders are also frequently observed in these individuals. There is no comprehensive study in the literature that combines respiratory exercises, posture training, and ergonomics training for textile workers. Therefore, this study will examine the effects of a regular exercise program implemented alongside ergonomics training provided to textile workers on respiratory parameters, musculoskeletal disorders, posture, functionality, pain levels, and fatigue intensity.
