OBJECTIVE(S) As not only few evidences but also contradictory results exist with regard to the effects of resistance training (RT) and resistance plus endurance training (ERT) on respiratory system, so the purpose of this research was therefore to study single and concurrent effects of endurance and resistance training on pulmonary function. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty seven volunteer health...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of an aerobic conditioning program on fitness, respiratory physiology, and resting lung function in patients with mild asthma. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Outpatient rehabilitation facility. METHODS Five patients with mild intermittent asthma and five normal control subjects completed a 10-week aerobic conditioning program. Pulmonary fu...

Assessment of the breathing pattern at maximal exercise in patients is limited because the range of ventilatory responses (minute ventilation; tidal volume; respiratory rate) at maximal exercise in normal humans is unknown. We studied 231 normal subjects (120 women; 111 men) equally distributed according to age from 20 to 80 years. Each subject performed a progressive incremental cycle ergomete...

The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of a course of aerobic exercise on pulmonary function and tolerance of activity in asthmatic patients. Among the asthmatic patients, 36 patients (M= 16, F= 20) were chosen after clinical examinations, pulmonary function test, skin prick test (SPT) for aeroallergen and a six minute walk test (6MWT) on their own free will. A patient was said...

BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has become increasingly important as a routine procedure in daily clinical work. So far, it is generally accepted that an individualized exercise protocol with exercise duration of 6 to 12 minutes is preferable to assess maximal exercise performance. The aim of this study was to compare an individualized NYHA adapted exercise protocol with a fi...

Mastectomy is one of the widely spread surgeries to remove breast cancer, however, this type intervention disturbs ventilatory function patient after surgery. The role physical therapy crucial in such cases as improve respiratory system, and chest expansion, decrease severity dyspnea, provide better health mastectomy. Purpose: study effect muscle training by using (The Breather) on functions wo...

Muscle relaxation training relieves the nervousness and anxiety of patients, attenuates progression respiratory tract infection, lung injury other postoperative complications. In this study, we evaluated effects nursing intervention combined with muscle assessment-based on pulmonary function rehabilitation, sputum excretion quality life in patients receiving thoracic surgeries. A total 140 elig...

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of indacaterol plus tiotropium bromide in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated by bronchiectasis and impact on IL-8 C reactive protein (CRP) levels.Methods: Sixty enrolled patients with COPD who received treatment Yantai Qishan Hospital, Yuyan, China from June 2017 to December 2019 were randomly allocated group A (n = 30) B 30). Group inh...

After two hours of abstinence from smoking pulmonary functions were assessed in twenty-seven asymptomatic male smokers by spirometry and Wright Peak Flow Meter, recording FVC, FEV1, FEV1%, FEF25-75%, and FEF75-85% of FVC, MVV and PEFR. These tests were repeated immediately after smoking and again after one hr. Only PEFR decreased significantly (P less than 0.01) and returned to nearly basal lev...
