Summary

This observational study will look at 80 children aged 8-14 to see if regularly playing wind instruments like the flute or melodica changes their chest movement, posture, breathing rate, and physical capacity. Half the kids will be wind instrument players, and the other half will be non-players. The goal is simply to measure and compare these factors—no treatment or intervention is being tested.

Who is studied

This study is planned to include healthy children aged 8-14 years who attend primary and middle school and either play or do not play wind instruments. Healthy volunteer children aged 8-14 years from schools in Tekirdağ, who either play wind instruments or do not play wind instruments (e.g., those playing string instruments) as part of compulsory music education, will be recruited. Participants will be divided into two groups: those who play wind instruments and those who do not. The musician group will consist of healthy children aged 8-14 years who have been regularly playing the flute or melodica for at least one year, whereas the control group will comprise age-matched children who do not play any wind instruments.
