In all positions, the patient is asked to exhale first. Pressure and stretching are applied in the opposite direction of the movement. As the patient inhales, resistance is controlled. Supine position: Both hands are placed on the sternum and oblique downward pressure is applied. The hands are placed parallel and diagonally along the lateral chest wall, above the lower ribs. To focus on the upper chest region, the hands are similarly placed on the pectoral muscles. Side-lying position: Both hands are placed parallel and diagonally along the lateral chest wall above the lower ribs. This position is beneficial to resist chest movement in the lower region and thus distribute the force to chest movement in the upper region. Prone position: The hands are placed parallel and diagonally along the lower ribs.

In Turkey, tobacco use is high in the 15-24 age group, and smoking rates among university students are reported to be between 20% and 43%. Besides causing COPD and other respiratory diseases, smoking negatively impacts performance by increasing fatigue, dyspnea, and pain during exercise. It impairs lung function, reducing respiratory volumes such as FVC and FEV1. PNF and chest mobility exercises targeting the chest area can improve respiratory parameters by increasing respiratory muscle function and thoracic mobility. Recent studies show that chest PNF techniques have positive effects on lung function, chest expansion, and some physiological parameters, especially in smokers.",[84],"Smoking",[86,87,88],"Smokers","Exercise","Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Stretching","2026-03-22",{"date":91,"type":92},"2026-03-25","ACTUAL",{"date":94,"type":92},"2026-03-09",{"date":96,"type":78},"2026-12-31",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
