“…that significantly higher values of FVC, FEV1 and PEFR, were obtained in border security force trainees in India after training period of 9 months duration. 2 Different studies have confirmed that physical training improved lung function. 5-7 Malhotra et al 1972 observed that there was significant difference in PEFR in India athletes and non-athletes Indian soldiers, thereby showing that there is no difference in the flow rates in top Indian athletes and moderately trained soldiers.…”

Background: Pulmonary function tests (PFT) serve as a tool of health assessment and as a predictor of occupational fitness. Police officers must develop and maintain high levels of physical fitness for physical demanding tasks they perform. The training program starts with confinement of five to eight weeks according to the trainee. Previously it has been shown that the police students have better lung functions values compared to their civilian colleagues. In this study the effect of the confinement training on pulmonary function tests was investigated.Methods: Eighty one policemen trainee were randomly selected from a new batch in the faculty of police sciences and Law, the National Ribat University, Khartoum, Sudan at their starting confinement period. Subjects were medically fit with no history of Diabetes, Hypertension, Asthma or use of any long term medications. Pulmonary function tests (FVC, FEV1 and PEFR) were performed using a micro-plus spirometer. Blood pressure, pulse rate, and hemoglobin were measured. All these were repeated at the end of the confinement.Results: The age of participants ranged from 24 to 26 years. FVC, FEV1 and PEFR significantly increased after the confinement period. The blood pressure and the pulse significantly decreased. The weight of the participants decreased after the confinement but Hb significantly slightly increased.Conclusions: Regular police training during the confinement improved the pulmonary and cardiovascular reserve function.

“…Durmus et al 2 ) carried out research, which concluded that exercise effectively improves pulmonary function. Thaman et al 5 ) examined post-training Border Security trainees and came to the conclusion that physical training improved their lung function parameters. Costa et al 18 ) suggested that inverting inspiration/expiration could provide a method for carrying out respiratory exercises linked to the upper limbs, since this would minimize thoracoabdominal asynchrony in patients with COPD.…”

“…In the west, smoking has been identified as the main risk factor of both lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Statistics from the UK demonstrate that 78% of people who died from COPD, and 84% of those who died from lung cancer, were smokers 5 ) . Ventilatory impairment is also linked to cigarette smoking, and it results in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1 ) impairment in children, as well as impacting negatively on the lung function development of young adults 6 ) .…”

“…A number of studies have proved that exercise training is very useful in improving respiratory systems 5 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ) . However, these pieces of research have tended to focus on the long-term, intermediate effects of exercise programs on respiratory systems, rather than how short term exercise training impacts on ventilatory function—in particular on adults who are at high risk of developing COPD.…”

The effectiveness of short-term high-intensity exercise on ventilatory function, in adults with a high risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

[Purpose] This study sets out to investigate whether a short-term high-intensity arm ergometer exercise plan can be of benefit to adults whose poor ventilatory function places them at risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [Subjects and Methods] A pre-experimental design with a convenience sample was employed. The study enrolled 30 adult smokers, aged between 18–25 years old, all of whom were at a high risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The participants did a daily 20-minute high-intensity arm ergometer exercise, at 75% target heart rate, at the same time over a period of three days. The forced vital capacity test manoeuvre was carried out before the sessions, and once all three had been done. [Results] The study demonstrated a sizeable increase in the mean values of forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in one second. The mean values of expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity as well as peak expiratory flow rate were not significant statistically. [Conclusion] Although further studies, using larger sampling groups, need to be carried out, this research demonstrates that adults at high risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease improve lung function by following short-term high-intensity arm ergometer exercise.

“…Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) have been considered as strong indicators of respiratory function. Whereas FVC predicts the compliance of lungs and chest wall (Miller et al, 2005), FEV1 detects pulmonary changes easily and effectively (Thaman et al, 2010).…”

Background: The medical students, owing to their busy schedule, find less time for their physical fitness. So the present study was conducted to highlight the state of pulmonary function among them. Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the status of pulmonary function among the medical students with sedentary lifestyle in district Patiala. Study design: Cross-sectional study design Sample population: Medical students around Patiala. Sample size: 100 students Procedure: Subjects with age 18-25 years and sedentary life style were included in the study. The subjects active in sports, any acute episode of chest infection, any restrictive or obstructive chest disease and any major surgery in the recent past were excluded from the study. Readings were noted down of FVC, FEV1 and PEFR using spirometer. Results: The mean age and BMI of subjects was 22.29±2.05 22.58±4.85 respectively. The estimated value showed 24.6%, 24.3% and 23.3% reduction in FVC, FEV1 and PEFR respectively than predicted values. The t-value showed significant reduction in all the parameters. Conclusion: The conclusion of the present study was that there was a significant reduction in the lung functional parameters of the medical students due to sedentary lifestyle.
