Abstract
Background: Pulmonary function in young obese women is reduced than when compared to non-obese indi-viduals. This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of arm ergometry combined with breathing exercise on the pulmonary function for young obese women. Materials and Methods: 30 subjects based on inclusion and exclusion criteria: Participants in both groups per-formed Diaphragmatic breathing exercise. Participants in intervention group performed arm ergometer in ad-dition. Outcome measures: FEV1/FVC %. The intervention was given for 8 weeks, 30 min/day for 5days/week. Results: A comparison between the mean values of arm ergometer plus breathing exercise group and breathing exercise alone group showed that there was a statistically significant difference in pulmonary function test(p<0.0001) Conclusion: Arm ergometer may be combined with breathing exercise in improving the pulmonary function for young obese women.
