The effect of eight week aerobic exercise on airway trachea indexes (FEV1, FVC, FEV1.FVC & FEF25-75) and vo2max level in overweighed male students of Ahvaz Payam Noor University

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of eight week aerobic exercises on some of airway trachea indexes (FEV1, FVC, FEV1.FVC & FEF25-75) and vo2max level in overweighed Male Students of Ahwaz Payam Noor University. For this reason we use male college students (n=40) and (age 21.06±3 years old, length 171.20±7 CM, weight 82.06±7 Kg, body mass index 26.04± 1 Kg.M2) as research sample who did not do any sport. Then was measured the Vo2max level by sub maximal incremental Bruce test on treadmill. Also the airway trachea indexes (FEV1, FVC, FEV1.FVC & FEF25-75) were measured by digital spirometer. All of subjects followed the aerobic exercise protocol for 8-week and 3 sessions in a week as 70 to 85 percent of HRR. Data analyzed by independent test(t-test) method at p value(p=0.05) revealed that 8-week aerobic exercises with 70 to 85 percent of HRR related to significant enhancement in airway trachea indexes(FEV1,FVC,FEV1.FVC & FEF25-75) and vo2max level.
