The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of breathing exercises and postural exercises via telerehabilitation on respiratory parameters, posture, and quality of life in young adults with asthma.
12 young adult (18-25 years old) individuals diagnosed with asthma participated in our study (all female). All of the participants are University students.
Participants included in the study were evaluated with Asthma Control Test, Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (short form) via Google Forms; Sit to Stand Test, Respiratory Rate per Minute and Oxygen Saturation were assessed at Yeditepe University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Laboratory both at baseline and at the end of the 5th week. Breathing and postural exercises were given to the participants for the duration of 5 weeks.

| Asthma Control Test | It is a questionnaire that consists of 5 topics referring to the daytime and nocturnal symptoms of past 4 weeks which are activity limitation, shortness of breath, awaking due to asthma symptoms, reliever medication and global judgment of asthma. | 5 weeks |
| International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF) | It aims to evaluate physical activity across different nations in adults aged 18-65 years. | 5 weeks |
| Oxygen Saturation | It is important to monitor current oxygen saturation due to the nature of oxygen consumption in the body. | 5 weeks |
| Respiratory Rate Per Minute | The normal value of respiratory rate is roughly 12-16 breaths per minute. | 5 weeks |
| Sit to Stand Test |
