Comparative Study on Effect of Breathing and Aerobic Exercise on General Health in Asymptomatic Population
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Breathing and aerobic exercises produce different types of physiological responses in healthy individuals. Aim of the study is to find the effect of breathing exercises against aerobic exercises in improving the general health of asymptomatic population. Materials and Methods: The selected subjects were randomly assigned into two groups (Breathing and Aerobic) with 16 subjects each. Breathing group performed breathing exercise in supine, sitting ,crook lying and standing with inspiration : expiration ratio 1:1,1:2,1:2:2 for a periods of 6 weeks. Aerobic group performed cycling, stair climbing, walking on ramp. Total duration of exercise was 5 days per week for 6 weeks. Results: Results of the study showed significant reduction in pulse rate, blood pressure and skin fold thickness from pre to post intervention in both breathing and aerobic group. It also found that, there was significant improvement in vital capacity, MVV, VO2 Max and quality of life from pre to post intervention in both breathing and aerobic group. However there was no statistically significant difference between both groups with regard to the above variables except VO2 Max, which was significantly improved more in aerobic group and skin fold thickness, which was significantly reduced in aerobic group. Conclusion: The study demonstrate that breathing and aerobic exercises are effective in improving cardio respiratory parameters and quality of life in asymptomatic population however aerobic exercises has better effect in reduction of skin fold thickness and improvement in VO2 Max .
