Summary:
During the recovery process, the activity of the sympathetic system decreases, while the activity of the parasympathetic system increases. In line with this information, the nervous system can be regulated in a noninvasive and practical way by using transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation in order to achieve rapid recovery in the athlete after the activity.

Primary Outcome Measures: Respiratory Function Test, In our study, FVC measurement were calculated using a MiniSpir2 brand spirometer device. The measurements were performed while the participants were sitting in a fixed chair. The measurements were repeated 3 times for each participant and the two highest values read on the device were recorded as an average., 2 Months|Respiratory Function Test, In our study, FEV1/FVC measurement were calculated using a MiniSpir2 brand spirometer device. The measurements were performed while the participants were sitting in a fixed chair. The measurements were repeated 3 times for each participant and the two highest values read on the device were recorded as an average., 2 Months|Respiratory Function Test, In our study, PEF measurement were calculated using a MiniSpir2 brand spirometer device. The measurements were performed while the participants were sitting in a fixed chair. The measurements were repeated 3 times for each participant and the two highest values read on the device were recorded as an average., 2 Months|Respiratory Function Test, In our study, FEV1 measurement were calculated using a MiniSpir2 brand spirometer device. The measurements were performed while the participants were sitting in a fixed chair. The measurements were repeated 3 times for each participant and the two highest values read on the device were recorded as an average., 2 Months
Secondary Outcome Measures: BORG Perceived Fatigue Measurement, The Borg Perceived Fatigue Scale was used to assess the degree of fatigue perceived by the participants. BORG is a scale developed to assess the level of strain experienced by individuals during physical activities. This scale is based on physical measures such as respiratory rate, heart rate, muscle fatigue and sweating perceived by individuals during physical exertion. The scale is scored between 6 and 20. If the participant's perceived muscle fatigue is very mild, a score of 9 is given. Scores between 12 and 14 on BORG indicate that the exertion is moderate. If the individual perceives that they are exerting very much, a score of 19 is given., 2 Months
Other Outcome Measures: Pulse Measurement, Endostall Pulse Oximeter device was used to measure the participants' pulse values., 2 Months|SPO2 Measurement, Endostall Pulse Oximeter device was used to measure the participants' SPO2 values., 2 Months|Blood Pressure Measurement, Systolic and diastolic blood pressures of all participants were measured using an Omron M6 AC HEM-7322-E arm blood pressure monitor., 2 Months
