TO IDENTIFY WHICH EXERCISE HAS MAXIMUM EFFECT ON THE LUNG FUNCTION TEST

Abstract

Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to identify which exercise has maximum effect on lung function tests. The idea behind choosing these physical activities was that in each group the types of movement performed were variable and body posture was also quite different. It was ensured that subjects chosen were regularly engaged in that particular activity. Pulmonary function tests were also carried out on age matched control groups. These cases were compared with healthy medical students, who acted as controls.
