Clinical Trial Summary

Even in healthy individuals, there may be tensions in the diaphragm muscle due to factors such as wrong posture, wrong breathing pattern, sedentary lifestyle, and it cannot fully fulfill its function. As a result of this tension in the diaphragm muscle, the breathing pattern deteriorates and sleep quality decreases. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of diaphragm release technique on sleep duration and sleep quality in healthy individuals. In this study, sleep quality of individuals will be evaluated with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI), sleep duration, heart rate and step count with Fitbit® Inspire 2. 32 individuals living in Tokat will be included in the study. After obtaining the sociodemographic information of the individuals, the average of sleep duration, heart rate and step counts will be recorded for 3 days with the Fitbit® Inspire 2 wearable technology to be provided within the scope of the project. Sleep quality will be recorded with PUKI. The diaphragm release technique will be applied in 3 sessions, with 2 days of rest in between. After the applications are finished, sleep time, heart rate and step counts will be recorded for 3 days with Fitbit® Inspire 2 wearable technology.
