Effect of SAQ Training on Vital Capacity and Peak Expiatory Flow Rate among School Students of Rural Area

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to find out the effect of SAQ training on vital capacity and peak expiatory flow rate among the school students of rural area. To achieve the purpose of the study 40 boy students of 12 to 16 years aged group were randomly selected from the rural area. Tentulmuri Mahammad Muslim MSK in Tentulmuri, Kharagpur-II Block, Paschim Medinipur District, in West Bengal, West Bengal state in India was selected as rural area of the study. The participant's were divided into two groups SAQ group and Control group, where was 20 participants in each group. SAQ group underwent SAQ training programme for 16 weeks duration, three alternative days in a week. The selected variables vital capacity and peak expiratory flow rate was measured by wet spirometer and Wrights peak flow meter. Before and after 16 weeks of experimental training the pre test and post test data was collected and pair t test was used to analyze the date. The data was calculated by Microsoft Office Excel 2007 software. The level of significant was set at 0.05. The funding were the vital capacity and peak expiratory flow rate significantly improved after 16 weeks experimental training programme.
