| Abstract |
Purpose : This study aims to investigate the effect of horse riding and treadmill exercises on breathing and to find out
which of these exercises has more effect on breathing. Methods : This study was conducted randomly on two groups
of four horse riding groups and four treadmill exercise groups of eight adult males in their 20s. After grasping the basic
characteristics of the body, the riding motion treadmill gave them speed and strength, respectively. Quark Spiro was used
as a breath measurement tool. Independent t-test and paired t-test using SPSS Window 18.0 were used to collect the
results, and the statistical significance probability was set to α = 0.05. Results : In this study, the results showed that
there was no change in breathing when observing changes in pulmonary function after riding and treadmill exercises.
Also, the results showed that there was no difference in the statistically significant values when comparing the two
groups. Conclusion : According to our results, there were no significant results for pulmonary function in both groups.
Therefore, neither of the exercises has improved the pulmonary function. There will be more objective results in future
research if we compare exercise methods, periods, and times. |
