The Effect of Body Composition on Respiratory Parameters, Functional Capacity and Sleep in Healthy Young Adults

Body composition has a significant effect on the respiratory system. Both respiratory prediction of function and a prognostic tool evaluated in the cardiopulmonary system factor. Respiratory function, which directly affects respiratory muscle strength and respiratory muscle endurance covers a range of data. In the literature, the relationship between body composition and respiratory function. Although there are studies examining body composition in healthy young adults, the relationship between them has not been clearly demonstrated. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of body composition on respiratory function, respiratory muscle endurance, functional capacity and sleep quality. For this purpose, at least 46 healthy young participants who fulfil the inclusion criteria will participate in the evaluation. Body composition parameters will be measured by the researchers using Tanita DC360 Body Analysis Scale. In pulmonary function test, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1st second (FEV1), Tiffeneau ratio (FEV1/FVC), peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) values will be evaluated by the researchers with COSMED Pony FX (COSMED; Italy) spirometer and respiratory muscle endurance with Maximum Voluntary Ventilation test. Participants will answer the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. The 6-minute walk test will be applied to the participants with the instructions of the researchers. Data will be analysed by SPSS Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 20.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois) programme will be made using.
