Summary

Smoking can damage lung functions as a result of high carbon monoxide and low hemoglobin oxygen carrying capacity in the blood. Smoking between young people continues to increase, which can cause respiratory function problems and lung diseases at an early age. In the studies, it has been seen that smoking may reduce the oppression and exercise ability.

Detailed description

Students who voluntarily accept participation in the study and sign the illuminated consent form, pulmonary status, gender, age, and body mass index to question data such as demographic data form, nicotine dependence levels Fagerstrom nicotine dependence scale, international physical activity scale (IPAQ), and Beck depression scale will be used. Then the respiratory function test will be evaluated with respiratory parameters and a 6-minute walking test. All evaluations made at the beginning of the study will be applied three times after the 8-week exercise program and the first month of control. First of all, the students will be grouped according to nicotine dependence levels, and exercise groups will be randomized according to each addiction level. Groups to be formed: Group 1: face-to-face exercise group; Group 2: online (telesağlık) exercise group; Group 3: control group.

Conditions

• Nicotine Dependence
• Smoking
• Physical Inactivity
• Depression

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Exercise	The first 5 minutes of heating in the exercise program are planned to be implemented for 8 weeks, and the last 5 minutes are a cooling period. In the exercise program, which is planned to last 40 minutes in total, respiratory exercises will be applied to heating and cooling peryotes. As respiratory exercise, diaphragmatic respiratory exercise will be applied to heating and cooling peryots with 5 repetitions. Elastic resistant bands (Therand) will be used in resistant exercise training that will last for 30 minutes. The participants will be started to work with the resistance that they can do 10 again but cannot reach 14 repetitions. Elastic resistant bands are shoulder flexion, shoulder extension, shoulder ablution, shoulder horizontal abduction, elbow extension, hip ablution, hip flexion, and hip exercise. These exercises will be held once a week, 10 repetitions, 2 sets, for 8 weeks.
