Abstract:Background: Prolonged training as in trained athletes results in the overall increase in muscular mass, metabolic power, and strength which also includes respiratory muscles. Enhancement of the respiratory muscle mass and strength can in turn result in increased respiratory efficiency which will be reflected in the increased lung function values. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the lung function of rowers and runners and to compare the lung function values of athletes in the two sports… Show more
