Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2010, Vol 20, Issue 49
Abstract
[b]Aim of the work.[/b] The main goal of this research was comparing the lung indices of 20 outstanding basketball players in Khouzestan province in Iran before and after the RAST test. Actually, the study examined the possible presence or absence of bronchial spasms among the athletes who had had several years of background in intense athletic activities. The subjects consisted of 20 elite basketball players from the eight teams which were present in Khouzestan basketball league.Their average age, weight, and height ranges were 26.55, 82.34 kg, and 186.35 cm; respectively. The average BMI was 23.69 kg/m². The research made a cross comparison among the pulmonary function indices MVV, FEF25-75, PEF, FEV1/FVC, FVC, FEV1 which were measured both before and after the RAST test.[b]Material and methods.[/b] Before and after the RAST test, the pulmonary function indices were measured. The sample population was given light basketball exercises for 10 minutes prior to the RAST test.[b]Results.[/b] In order to compare the obtained results, they were subjected to a t test. The final results revealed no significant difference between the values related to MVV FEV1/FVC (p > 0.05); however, a significant decrease was observed in the values FEF25-75, PEF, FVC and FEV1 being respectively 12.60%, 10.28%, 7.82% and 5.41% (p < 0.05).[b]Conclusions. [/b]Based on the definition of bronchial spasms arising from athletic exercise, the existence of such bronchial spasms in the sample population could be defined only based on a single value, that is a 19% decrease in FEV 1 in over 60% of the sample population.
