Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: The present study is designed to determine if vital capacity can predict quality of life as well as document the effect of aerobic exercise on vital capacity. Materials And Methods: An experimental study. Participants were selected from different offices, call centres and IT sectors in Jaipur (Rajasthan). Incentive Spirometer was used to measure vital capacity and WHOQOL was used to measure quality of life. Results: The results of present study indicate that three weeks intervention of moderate intensity aerobic exercises training improves the vital capacity and quality of life in the asymptomatic individuals with sedentary lifestyle. However the aerobic training was more effective in physical domain of quality of life. Conclusion: The present study concluded that there is a significant increase in vital capacity and physical domain of health related quality of life in asymptomatic individuals with sedentary lifestyle as an effect of moderate intensity aerobic exercises i.e treadmill running for 3 weeks.
