Correlations Between Muscle Strengths Indicators Of The Trunk And The Vital Capacity

Abstract

Objectives. This study aims to determine the relationships between the muscle strengths indices of the trunk and the vital capacity (including VEMS and the Tiffeaneau index). Methods. We tested thirty-nine athletes divided in three age groups (who were 12, 14 and 16 years old), by measuring the waist, the weight, the vital capacity, maximum expired volume per second, and muscle strengths of the trunk. Thus, we calculated one hundred thirty-five correlations between the three groups of measured variables. Results. For the 12-year-olds group, we observed a significant correlation between CV and all values of the muscle strengths of the trunk, the correlation being negative. In the 14-year-olds group, we observed the influence of all measured strengths parameters concerning the value of the Tiffeneau index. In the 16-year-olds group, muscle strengths values no longer influence lung parameters, with significant correlations only between anthropometric and spirometry variables. Conclusions. There is a permanent change in the relationship between the large muscle strengths of the trunk and the muscles involved in the respiratory process (ensuring the CV value), depending on the age of the subjects being measured. These conclusions must be accepted with caution as they only target this group of subjects.
