Spirometry is a validated method used throughout the world as a reference standard for assessing slow vital capacity for many years (2).
Observations on the vital capacity during the last month of pregnancy and the puerperium.
Forced vital capacity in litres###M/M###44###3.96###0.75###0.11###0.048*
Effects of regular training are Increased strength of diaphragm and intercostal muscles, Greater number of alveoli, Increased ability of the lungs to extract oxygen from the air, Increased vital capacity, Increased amount of oxygen delivered to, and carbon dioxide removed from, the body.
Among the participants, 41% (95% CI, 29-56) had pulmonary disorders, of which the most prevalent were obstructive disorders (49%), followed by obstructive disorder with reduced forced vital capacity disorders (46%), and restrictive disorders (5%).
It is generally accepted that forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and Forced vital capacity (FVC) are strong indicators of lung function, which decline due to obesity and sedentary life style [16, 17].
The primary variables measured included forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expired volume in one second (fEv1), FVC/FEV1, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV).
The following pulmonary function tests were performed for each subject using a Med-Graphics [TM] metabolic cart and Breeze Software [TM]: forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), slow vital capacity (SVC), maximum volitional ventilation (MVV), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP).
The overall group averaged 10% increases over baseline (P less than .001) in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second ([FEV.sub.1]), vital capacity, and volume-adjusted midexpiratory flow (IsoFEF25-75), as well as a 2.9% increase in the diffusing capacity of the lung (DLCO).
This state-of-the-art freighter will be deployed to SEuo Paulo in Brazil where it will provide additional and vital capacity to Brazilian industries."
A surprising result was that even though subjects used the spirometer during game play and the control period, their ability to take a deep breath (termed vital capacity) improved significantly only after game play.
It was observed that their was no significance difference in Resting Respiratory Rate, Blood Pressure, Vital Capacity, Maximum Breath Holding Time, Peak Flow Rate and Cardio Vascular Endurance.There was significant difference in Resting Heart Rate and Resting Pulse Rate.
