One group comprised 50 subjects in the sports group and other had 50 subjects in the SKY group. The parameters used as determinants of lung function were predicted percent of means of FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio, FEF 25-75% and PEFR recorded as per standard procedure using RMS- Helios spirometer. In our study the sports group was having significantly higher mean value of FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio, FEF 25-75% and PEFR as compared to SKY group.
