Effects of Breathing Exercises Using Internet-of-Things-Based Application Programs on Pulmonary Function and Shooting Score in Shooting Athletes

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of breathing exercises using an application based on the Internet of things on the lung capacity and shooting score of shooting athletes. Methods: Twenty-four shooters were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group performed breathing exercises using an application based on the Internet of things. The control group performed the threshold resistance breathing training. Lung capacity and shooting scores were measured before and after the intervention. The Quark Spiro was used as a breath measurement tool. The results were collected through independent t-test and paired t-test using SPSS Statistics for Windows version 19.0, and significance probability was set to α=0.05. Results: In the experimental group, significant differences were found in the forced expiratory volume at 1 s, forced vital capacity, and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) before and after the intervention. In the comparison between the two groups, a significant difference was noted in MVV between the control and experimental groups. Conclusion: The results of this study confirmed the increased MVV in the experimental group. Performing breathing exercises using an application based on the Internet of things was effective in improving the lung capacity of shooting athletes.
