A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS IN FREESTYLE WRESTLERS AND AGE MATCHED SEDENTARY INDIVIDUALS
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Objective of the current study was to determine the differences in Pulmonary function tests in Freestyle wrestlers and sedentary individuals. Materials and Methods: Study included 40 male Freestyle wrestlers and 40 male sedentary individuals who are not interested in any sport branches actively. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in 1st second (FEV1), FEV1 % and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) are the Lung function parameters considered in this study and recorded using HELIOS 401 MEDSPIROR. Results: The arithmetic mean and standard deviations of the data were obtained for statistical evaluation. Results were analysed statistically using unpaired 't' test. Male wrestlers showed statistically significant higher values of FEV1 4.09 ± 0.109, FVC of 4.96 ± 0.45, PEFR of 4.570 ± 0.119 and FEV1 % of 82.48 ± 0.602 when compared to sedentary group. Conclusion: In Freestyle wrestlers higher values of Lung function tests were obtained when compared to sedentary individuals suggest that regular exercise has a significant role in improving lung functions.
