Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
* Is diaphragmatic breathing exercise training provided by a physiotherapist effective in improving the respiratory functions of choir singers?
* Is diaphragmatic breathing exercise training provided by a physiotherapist effective in improving the vocal performance of choir singers?
* Does aerobic exercise training applied in addition to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training provided by a physiotherapist have a greater effect on improving the respiratory functions of choir singers compared to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training applied alone?
* Does aerobic exercise training applied in addition to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training provided by a physiotherapist have a greater effect on improving the vocal performance of choir singers compared to diaphragmatic breathing exercise training applied alone?
The research data are going to be collected by Sociodemographic Information Form, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, Self-Performance Evaluation Questionnaire, Vocal Fatigue Index, Singing Voice Handicap Index, measurement of maximum phonation time, pulmonary function test, maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure measurement, and 6-minute walk test.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
diaphragmatic breathing exercise training group
Participants included in the diaphragmatic breathing exercise training group will be provided diaphragmatic breathing training by a physiotherapist before starting the exercise program.
Diaphragmatic breathing exercise training
At the end of the training, participants will be asked to do an exercise session and this session will be observed. Training will continue until participants learn and apply the exercise correctly.
5-minute warm-up and cool-down periods will be applied at the beginning and end of each exercise session. Exercises will be done twice a day, morning and evening, for 8 weeks.
In order to follow the exercise, participants will be given diaphragmatic breathing exercise tracking cards with date and session information. In addition, participants will be followed up weekly on one of the rehearsal days to ensure their adaptation to the exercise.
aerobic exercise training group
The protocol given to the diaphragmatic breathing exercise training group will also be included in the exercise program of participants included in the aerobic exercise training group.
Diaphragmatic breathing exercise training
At the end of the training, participants will be asked to do an exercise session and this session will be observed. Training will continue until participants learn and apply the exercise correctly.
5-minute warm-up and cool-down periods will be applied at the beginning and end of each exercise session. Exercises will be done twice a day, morning and evening, for 8 weeks.
In order to follow the exercise, participants will be given diaphragmatic breathing exercise tracking cards with date and session information. In addition, participants will be followed up weekly on one of the rehearsal days to ensure their adaptation to the exercise.
Aerobic exercise training
The intensity of the aerobic exercise program will be calculated for each participant using the Karvonen formula. Accordingly, each participant will be given a brisk walking program on a suitable surface, which will be created specifically for the individual to reach the target heart rate range within the scope of the aerobic exercise program; they will apply a 45-minute session, 3 days a week, for 8 weeks.
Control group
Participants included in the control group will be asked to continue their daily routines without changing their lifestyles.
No interventions assigned to this group
