Effect Of Sandbag Breathing Exercise On Respiratory Parameters And Lumbar Stability In Asymptomatic Individuals- An Experimental Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Aims: To study the effect of sandbag breathing exercise on respiratory parameters and lumbar stability in asymptomatic individuals. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of sandbag breathing exercise on respiratory parameters and lumbar stability in asymptomatic individuals. Method: 43 asymptomatic subjects with age group between 20-25 years, chest expansion of not more than 5 cms and having BMI<25 were selected for the study. All of them were given sandbag breathing exercise for 5-10 minutes, thrice a week for 4 weeks. Outcome measures were Vitalograph (FEV1,FVC, FEV1/FVC) for respiratory parameters and Pressure Biofeedback Unit for lumbar stability. Result: Statistical difference was noted between the pre and post repiratory parameters in the form of FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and lumbar stability through pressure biofeedback unit, where p-value was <5% significance level (p= <0.05). Conclusion: Present study concludes that sandbag breathing exercise showed significant effect on respiratory parameters and lumbar stability in asymptomatic individuals. Hence, sandbag breathing exercise are safe and cost-effective which can be done at home on regular basis.
