Brief Summary: The effects of manipulation therapy on the autonomic nervous system have been examined in the literature and while no sympathetic or parasympathetic changes were found after upper thoracic manipulation a decrease in sympathetic data was observed after lower thoracic manipulation and an increase in parasympathetic data was observed On the other hand a different study found that thoracic manipulation did not cause any changes such as an increase or decrease in the autonomic nervous system Therefore although there are uncertainties in the autonomic role of manipulation therapy its effect on respiration is intriguing when positive studies are considered

In a study aiming to evaluate the effect of thoracic manipulation on respiratory function segmental manipulation treatment was applied to healthy individuals by detecting the vertebrae in the thoracic region where normal joint movements were lost and it was determined that the respiratory functions of the manipulation group improved significantly compared to the group that did not receive treatment In another study conducted on healthy individuals the subjects were divided into manipulation group exercise and manipulation group and control groups At the end of the study it was determined that there was a significant increase in the respiratory functions of the participants in the manipulation group while an additional increase was observed in the group combined with exercise but this was not significant No change was observed in the control group

When the literature is examined it is noteworthy that the effects of manipulation treatments on respiration remain unclear and especially the inadequacy of studies on Olympic-style weightlifters and the ongoing search for increasing athletic performance in this area

This study aims to examine the effects of cervical and thoracic manipulation treatments on respiratory muscle strength respiratory functions and cervical and thoracic region joint range of motion in weightlifters

The main question it aims to answer is

- Is cervical and thoracic manipulation therapy applied to Olympic style weightlifters effective on respiration
Detailed Description: Our study is planned as a prospective randomized controlled single-blind experimental study A total of 40 female and male elite and non-elite weightlifters between the ages of 13-35 will be evaluated for our study

The minimum sample size of the study was found to be at least 40 people with at least 20 people in each group with 90 power at a 95 confidence interval
