he Effect of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Cycling Ergometry and Recovery in Healthy Young Individuals
It is aIt is aimed to examine the possible benefits and effects of the use of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation to be applied in healthy individuals for sportive purposes on recovery and sportive performance level.
The 90 people between the ages of 18-35 will be included in the study. Each participant will be randomly divided into 3 groups to be homogeneous after the necessary calculations are made by evaluating with age, gender, weight, height and body mass index before starting the study.
The groups are; It will be in the form of Unilateral Stimulation (n=30), Bilateral Stimulation (n=30) and Bilateral Sham Stimulation (n=30) groups.
After the initial assessment, participants in all groups will be asked to do 30 minutes of cycling exercise at maximum performance under the same wattage load. Cycling will be re-evaluated after exercise. After the assessment is complete, stimulation will be given with Vagustim for 20 minutes non-invasively. After vagus nerve stimulation, a re-evaluation will be made and the protocol for that day will be terminated.
After the pain and fatigue rating scale, the evaluation will be completed by determining the lactate level in the blood with the Lactat Scout. Vagus nerve stimulation will be applied with the Vagustim device for 20 minutes, keeping it biphasic, with a frequency of 10 Hz, a pulse width of 300 μs in Modulation mode, and a constant current where the participant feels the current comfortably.
At the end of the Cycling Ergometer Test and Vagus nerve stimulation, the Autonomic Nervous System, pulse and blood pressure will be evaluated with Polar H10 within 5 minutes.
