Comparison of respiratory functions of athletes engaged in different individual sports branches
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2013, Vol 40, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: It was aimed to research pulmonary functions of sedentary males and athletes who engaged in different individual sports branches in the same age group. Methods: 50 male athletes in 15-16 age group in the star category participated from each of the branches of judo, athletics, wrestling, taekwondo, table tennis and swimming and 50 sedentary males participated as well; being in total 350 subjects. Among respiratory functions tests; vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC) and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) values were measured. Results were compared. Results: As a result of measurement, VC values of wrestlers, swimmer and taekwondo athletes were significantly higher than the values of sedentary males in statistical size (p<0.05 and p<0.01). VC values of swimmers were significantly higher than athletes of judo, track and field and table tennis athletes (p<0.01). It was determined that FVC and FEV1 values of swimmers and wrestlers have significantly higher values than sedentary subjects (p<0.05). FVIC values of swimmers were significantly higher than athletes, table tennis players and sedanters (p<0.05 and p<0.01). MVV values of swimmers were significantly higher than judo, track and field and table tennis athletes (p<0.05). When the respiration rate (RR) was analyzed, RR value of table tennis players were significantly higher than wrestlers (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result it was determined that respiratory functions were higher among subjects who do exercise compared to those who do not. That the respiratory parameters of athletes doing exercise from different branches of star category are higher than those who do not shows the effect of training on respiratory system. In addition to this, the difference of respiratory functions between branches shows that the sport branch influences the respiratory capacity. Key words: Respiratory functions, athletes, sport branches.
