“…Increased metabolic activity during physical activity improves pulmonary functions through strengthening of the pulmonary muscles. We demonstrated that both athletes and singers had better vital capacity than the control group, similar to other studies (18,20,26,27). Though there are studies which have compared athletes and singers separately with the control group, only one study has compared all three.…”

Physical activity when performed regularly has beneficial effects on all systems of the body, including pulmonary functions. This study, conducted at Springdales School in Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi, aimed to determine the effect of sports and singing on the vital capacity (the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation), an important measure of pulmonary health. Vital capacity was assessed in 60 healthy students of 13-14 years of age with an equal number of athletes, singers, and non-athletes non-singers, as well as an equal number of males and females in each group. Vital capacity was measured by Student’s spirometer. Anthropometric data was also matched with spirometric parameter. Athletes (3452.5±696.7 cm3) and singers (3015±346.83 cm3) had significantly higher vital capacity than the control group (2625±543.74 cm3). The vital capacities of athletes and singers were also significantly different. Non-athletes non-singers had a significantly higher body mass index (23.87±2.35 kg/m2) as compared to athletes (20.66±1.52 kg/m2) and singers (22.6±1.84 kg/m2). In conclusion, both athletes and singers had better pulmonary function compared to control, with a positive correlation to body mass index. Athletes also exhibited better vital capacity than singers. This implies that encouraging regular exercise and singing in children improves cardiorespiratory functions.

“…Considering respiratory failure is the leading cause of mortality in DM1 ( 25 ) and the well-known benefits of aerobic exercise on respiratory function ( 26 , 27 ), we performed spirometry testing. Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume (FEV1) were significantly lower in DM1-PRE (~32% and ~36%, respectively) compared with in CON ( Table 2 and Supplemental Table 2 ).…”

Background Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a complex life-limiting neuromuscular disorder characterized by severe skeletal muscle atrophy, weakness, and cardiorespiratory defects. Exercised DM1 mice exhibit numerous physiological benefits that are underpinned by reduced CUG foci and improved alternative splicing. However, the efficacy of physical activity in patients is unknown. Methods Eleven genetically diagnosed DM1 patients were recruited to examine the extent to which 12 weeks of cycling can recuperate clinical and physiological metrics. Furthermore, we studied the underlying molecular mechanisms through which exercise elicits benefits in skeletal muscle of DM1 patients. RESULTS DM1 was associated with impaired muscle function, fitness, and lung capacity. Cycling evoked several clinical, physical, and metabolic advantages in DM1 patients. We highlight that exercise-induced molecular and cellular alterations in patients do not conform with previously published data in murine models and propose a significant role of mitochondrial function in DM1 pathology. Finally, we discovered a subset of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) that correlated to indicators of disease severity. Conclusion With no available cures, our data support the efficacy of exercise as a primary intervention to partially mitigate the clinical progression of DM1. Additionally, we provide evidence for the involvement of snoRNAs and other noncoding RNAs in DM1 pathophysiology.

“…Effects of the improving in the FVC and FEV1 parameters followed by the aerobic exercise was seen in the study which is also supported by the Angane et al 2016 and Shashikala et al 2011.the mechanism by which it works is due to strengthening of the inspiratory muscles. 17,18 Present study stated that there was a significant difference was found in the experimental group in which the diaphragmatic breathing exercise was added along with the aerobic exercise which shows a significant increase in the galvanic skin response post intervention which is supported by previous studies conducted by Dhodi et al 2014 and Adhana et al 2011 which due to the beneficial effects on the autonomic nervous system. 19 Present study also showed significant difference was found post intervention in experimental group hence diaphragmatic breathing helps in reduction of the blood pressure along with the aerobic exercise possible mechanism is described by the Lovikali et al 2017 and Kaur et al 2015 showed that can be due to breathing exercise increases baroreflex sensitivity and reduces sympathetic activity which led to the reduction in the blood pressure.…”

Introduction: Hypertension known as a raised arterial pressure. It is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Stress is one of the factors that is responsible for hypertension which is measured by galvanic skin response (GSR). Findings from the previous studies were showed that the breathing exercise can help in the reduction of the blood pressure by acting on autonomic nervous system. Several studies have shown the effects of aerobic exercise in reduction of the blood pressure but there was scarcity of the studies done on additive effects of diaphragmatic breathing on essential hypertension. Materials and Method: After taking informed written consent subjects were randomly divided into two groups by simple random sampling method. Group A received Aerobic exercise and Group-B received Diaphragmatic breathing + Aerobic exercise. The duration of the treatment was of the 4 weeks. Pre and post intervention BP, GSR, FVC, FEV1 and DASS 21 were measured. Results: Paired t test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used for within group analysis which shows the significant improvement was found in both groups in all outcome measure. There was significant difference was found in between groups in FVC and FEV1 (p < 0.05). However there was no statistical significant difference was found in between groups in SBP, DBP, GSR and DASS-21(p > 0.05). Conclusion: Diaphragmatic breathing along with the aerobic exercise has significant effects on FVC and FEV1 however there were no additional significant effects found on BP, GSR and DASS-21.
