Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Respiratory Muscle Strength/ maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP)
Participants' maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) measurements will be evaluated using the COSMED Pony FX spirometry device according to American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society standards.
Time frame
On the day of enrollment2
Respiratory Muscle Strength/maximal expiratory pressure (MEP)
Participants' maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) measurements will be evaluated using the COSMED Pony FX spirometry device according to American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society standards.
Time frame
On the day of enrollmentSecondary outcomes
1
Pressure Biofeedback Unite
Core muscle stabilization will be measured with The Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback Unit. Individuals are asked to lie down in the supine and prone positions. After the pressure cell of the instrument is placed with reference to the Anterior superior iliac spines (ASIS) and Posterior superior iliac spines (PSIS), the subjects are asked to perform a drawing-in maneuver. The contraction that can be sustained for 10 seconds is recorded in mmHg.

Trunk Muscle Endurance Tests
The endurance of the trunk flexor, trunk extensor and lateral flexor muscles is evaluated by recording the maximum time that the person can maintain the test position.
Time frame
On the day of enrollment3
Physical Activity Level
Individuals' physical activity levels will be questioned with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Short Form. It is a 7-item scale. Physical activity levels are classified into 3 categories according to the scores obtained by multiplying the duration, frequency and MET values of the physical activities that the participants participated in within 7 days and for at least 10 minutes. Accordingly, \<600 MET - min/week is defined as inactive, 600 - 3000 MET - min/week low, and \>3000 MET - min/week is defined as sufficient physical activity level.
