Summary
This study aims to determine the effects of different breathing patterns on ocular vasculature and intraocular pressure (IOP) during isokinetic and isometric strength exercises. It is hypothesized that higher ocular microcirculation changes and IOP values will be observed during the Valsalva maneuver compared to normal breathing in both exercise types. Additionally, ocular microcirculation and IOP changes are expected to be more pronounced during isometric exercises than during isokinetic exercises. The results will help establish optimal strength training strategies for both professional athletes and physically active individuals.
