The Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Pulmonary Function Tests in Working Age Male
Abstract
Aerobic exercise is recognized in the medical profession as a healthy exercise. It improves the performance of the lungs, heart, blood vessels and circulatory system of the body. This study aims to analyze the effect of aerobic exercise on lung function in 18-40 years old male volunteers who were evenly divided into two groups; aerobic exercise group (n = 50) and non-exercise group (n = 50). Participants were recruited randomly from Huachiew chalermprakiet university and outside. Data were collected using instruments: questionnaire of general data and spirometer. The following parameters were recorded; vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced expiratory ratio (FEV1/FVC%). The research used to compare the two groups was an unpaired student’s t-test. The data demonstrates a significant (p<0.05) difference between the two groups. The exercise group had a higher VC, FVC, FEV1 than the non- exercise group only FEV1/ FVC had not difference, So it is concluded that aerobic exercise produces a positive effect on the lung by increasing pulmonary capacity and improving the lung functioning
