Brief Summary

The aim of the study was to investigate the short and long-term effects of breathing exercises on reaction time.

Conditions

Breathing, Mouth

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Finger reaction test

  By placing the dominant hand index finger on the left button of a computer mouse, the participant will be asked to press the left button as soon as the traffic light pattern glows green on the screen.

  4weeks

• Upper extremity reaction test

  Upper extremity reaction test: It is planned to use a validated BlazePod sensor for upper extremity reaction time test

  4weeks

• Auditory Reaction Test

  Auditory reaction time will be assessed with the playback.fm (https://playback.fm/audio-reaksiyon-time) test. Subjects will be asked to press the 'space bar' key each time they hear a sound. After five applications, data will be taken from the output page and the average reaction time will be calculated.

  4weeks
