Abstract
Purpose
This experimental research aimed to determine and compare the effect of aerobic combined with diaphragmatic breathing exercise and aerobic exercise on pulmonary functions and respiratory muscle strength in smokers.
Methods
The sample group consisted of male and female smokers aged 18-59 years who received counseling to quit smoking from the Thailand National Quitline. A total of 24 people were divided into 3 groups, with 8 people in each group. These groups included the control group (SCCT; n=8), which did not receive any exercise training; the aerobic exercise by running 30 minutes combined with diaphragmatic breathing group (SCBE; n=8); and the aerobic exercise by running 50 minutes group (SCAE; n=8). Both exercise groups engaged in exercise three times per week for a period of 8 weeks. Before and after the experiment, the researchers conducted pulmonary function tests, measuring the Forced vital capacity (FVC), the Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), The FEV1/FVC, and the maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV). The respiratory muscle strength, including the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and the maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), was also assessed. The results were then analyzed statistically using repeated measures two-way analysis of variance at a statistical significance level of 0.05.
Results
The results indicated that after eight weeks, in the SCBE and SCAE had significantly higher FVC, FEV1, MVV, MIP and MEP than pre-test (p<.05). Moreover, it was found that the SCBE group exhibited the MIP and MEP increased differently from the control group (p<.05). The SCAE group showed the MVV and MIP, with a statistically significant difference from the control group at the 0.05 significance level.
Conclusion
The recent discovery illustrated that engaging in a combination of aerobic exercise and diaphragmatic breathing exercises, as well as aerobic exercise, can enhance pulmonary functions and increase respiratory muscle strength among individuals who smoke
