The Effect of Zinc Oxide Dust and Environmental Conditions of Training Ground on Lung Forced Vital Capacity Conditions of Central Java Weighthlifting Athletes

Abstract

For an athlete, training is an activity that must be done routinely. In training and competition, weightlifting requires chemicals that are used to get rid of slippery hands when lifting weights. That is Zinc Oxide. The poor condition of the training ground causes a decrease in the quality of the physiology of the lungs of the athletes. One reason is that it is sourced from Zinc Oxide dust used during training. Pulmonary physiological disorders were analyzed from Forced Volume Capacity values using a digital spirometer with standard ETS / ARS standard. The sudy result levels of particle dust 17, 921 mg / m3 which exceeds Threshold. From pulmonary physiology measurements, 33.33% of athletes suffer from mild restriction and decrease in pulmonary physiology caused by high levels of Zinc Oxide at the training ground.
