Sponsor's own description

This study investigates the effect of two different techniques, stretching of the diaphragm and cervical level impulse technique C3-C4, in the possible spirometric changes, vital capacity (CV), maximum expiratory flow (PEF) and maximum expiratory volume (FEV). in relation to the secondary variables (age, physical activity, BMI, sex). the subjects of the study were informed and clarified doubts about it and its subsequent reading and signing of informed consent. The subjects were randomly selected to determine which intervention group they would belong to (G1: intervention group of the diaphragm muscle stretch technique, G2: intervention group of the cervical rotation rotation impulse technique C3- C4, G3: Combined technique G1 and G2, G4: control group.The evaluation technique is spirometry.The intervention protocol is as follows, first the pre-intervention spirometry is performed, then the corresponding technique (according to intervention group), then the post-intervention spirometry, the intervention technique and at 5 minutes, the intervention technique is performed.
