Article Changes in Respiratory Muscle Pressure of Healthy Individuals With Different Levels of Immersion in Water: Observational Study(Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2023-09-30) Gurpinar, Baris; Özyürek, Seher; Elvan, Ata; Tükel, ŞerminPurpose: Understanding the physiological effects of immersion, particularly on pulmonary dynamics in healthy individuals is important to predict and interpret the physiological responds in unhealthy group. The aim of our study is to evaluate the inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength and cough strength in healthy individuals during water immersion at different water depths. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 24 healthy individuals with the mean age 20.0 years. Respiratory muscle strength test and cough force were tested on dry land and in pool at iliac crests, xiphoid appendix of the sternum and clavicles levels. Measurements were randomized at each level. The Friedman test was used for repeated measures with Wilcoxon signed ranks test with Bonferroni correction was applies to compare the variables. Results: A significant difference between dry land and immersion in water of different levels for MEP (p=0.001) and PEF (p= 0.015). Multiple comparisons showed no difference between levels in PEF (p<0.001), whereas MEP values measured in clavicles level was significantly higher than both dry land and iliac crest level (p<0.0125). Conclusion: Clavicle level immersion alters respiratory muscle strength when compared with the values measured out of the water and immersed at the iliac crest level in healthy individuals.Article Neurocognitive Exercise Program Improves Selective Attention in Children Aged Between 7-13 Years: a Pilot Study(2020) Büker, Nurullah; Tükel, Şermin; Özer Kaya, Derya; Kaya, Derya OzerPurpose: The purpose of this study was to test the effect of the neurocognitive exercise program (NEP) on the selective attention of typically developing children. Methods: Twenty-eight typically developing children between the ages of 7 and 13 years, referred by their parents to improve their attention level, were included in this study. Children received 10 sessions (60 min/day, 1 day/week) of the NEP. The selective attention of children was tested before and after the NEP with the d2 Test of Attention. Results: Comparison of outcome measures revealed a significant decrease in the percentage of inattention and impulsivity scores and total errors after the NEP (p<0.05). The significant increase was observed in processing speed (p<0.05). According to normative data, the number of poor performers decreased from 17 to 9 in inattention, and from 23 to 13 in impulsivity. Conclusion: The NEP seems to be a promising training modality for improving selective attention in typically developing children. Randomized controlled studies are needed to replicate the effects of the program.
