Abstract

BACKGROUND: Measurements of the ventilatory adaptations to physical activity provide useful information about the functional conserve capacity of the lungs in study participants with respiratory diseases. AIM: The present study aimed to study the correlation of physical activity and pulmonary function test in rst year MBBS medical students MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study conducted in a medical college. A total of 80 participated students comprising of 40 males and 40 females in the age group of 18-21 years were divided into four groups based on their body mass index as underweight, normal, overweight and obese group. Respiratory parameters (VC, FVC, FEV1, FEV1% and PEF) measured before and after acute physical activity in the bicycle ergometer. RESULTS: No signicant changes found in all the four groups before and after physical activity in males. The values of FVC & VC after exercise reduced than the baseline values in overweight and obese females (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Acute exercise not signicantly affect the respiratory parameters. The body fat distribution of the participated signicantly affect the ventilatory response to acute physical activity in otherwise healthy individuals
