Abstract
Background: A growing corpus of research has focused on the function of breathing exercises and how they affect a variety of orthopaedic and sports rehabilitation-related features, however there is little evidence about how breathing exercises affect sport physical therapy. Objective: To analyze the impact of the all-fours belly breathing exercise on athletes' performance during the shuttle run.
Material and Method: Twenty individuals took part in the study as a whole. Athletic group in group 1 (n = 20). A pre-shuttle run test (SRT) was conducted, and all participants received an explanation of the study's informed consent process. The subjects had a four-week exercise in belly breathing on all fours after the evaluation, and the results of post-SRT were evaluated.
Results: Prior to completing four weeks of belly breathing exercises, the mean SRT score was 3.305. Standard deviation: (1.46 Maximum and minimum scores were 8.182 and 1.143, respectively. As opposed to that, the average SRT score following the four weeks of all-fours belly breathing exercise was 3.95 (standard deviation = 1.36). 2.5 was the lowest and 8.364 was the highest possible score. By utilising the student t test, the mean difference between the SRT score before 3.31 (1.47) and the SRT score after 3.95 (1.37) is statistically significant (p 0.001). Also, the mean difference between the anticipated VO2max before 23.78 (4.90) and the predicted VO2max after 25.87 (4.74) is statistically significant (p0.001).
Conclusion: This study's findings suggest that all-fours belly breathing is helpful in enhancing the performance of the shuttle run in healthy people.
