Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was effect of webbased remote breathing exercise on pulmonary function and respiratory strength. Methods A total of 30 students were assigned to 15 in study groups and 15 in control groups. Exercise was performed 3 times a week for a total of 12 times for 4 weeks. Both groups applied an exercise program included breathing exercise and whole body exercise. Results As a result of pulmonary function, there was no significant difference in the study group, and there was a significant difference in the control group for FEV₁, FEV₁/FVC, PEF. Both groups showed significant differences in MEP and MIP for respiratory muscle strength. However, there were no significant differences between groups in all items. Conclusion Breathing exercises help to improve pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength. In particular, remote breathing exercise can be an alternative that can help improve respiratory muscle strength of nonfacetoface social university students with low activity levels.
