Study of Pulmonary Function Tests in Young Adults Engaged in Gymnasium
Journal Title: International Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Background and Objectives: As the latest modern and well equipped gymnasiums are coming up, more and more youngsters are diverting towards gymnasium. As the studies on pulmonary functions of individuals doing exercise in Gymnasium are less available, the present study was carried out to assess the pulmonary function. of young adults of 18-30 years of age group. Method: This study was carreid out in the department of physiology, M.G.M. Medical College, Indore with recruitment of 60 subjects. The subjects were categorized into 2 groups - study group and control group each of 30. Subjects of study group (n=30) were performing physical activity in Gymnasium for minimum two years and of control group (n=30) were M.B.B.S students not doing any regular exercise. Various lung volumes were measured by spirometer andstatistically analyzed. Results: It was observed that pulmonary functions of study group were greater than the control group though the difference was statistically not significant. Interpretation and Conclusion: Present study showsimportance of exercise in Gymnasium on lung functions.
