The objective of the study was to determine the effects of tobacco use on selected markers of health and lung function in professional athletes. A total of 108 male professional athletes participated in the study from ten ball game teams in the same sport league in Qatar (age = 26.4 ± 5.1 yrs, height = 190.6 ± 11.9 cm, and weight = 91.5 ± 16.4 kg). The athletes have been playing professionally for about 6.3 years on average. In addition to demographic and tobacco use status, the following clinical variables were measured: resting blood pressure, heart rate, FVC, FEV sec, and PEF. The prevalence of tobacco use among the athletes was 27.7%. The FVC, FVC%, and FEV% were significantly lower among the smokers compared to the nonsmokers ( = 0.003, 0.044, and 0.001, resp.). There were no significant differences between cigarettes smokers and nonsmokers in BP, HR, FEV, FEV/FVC, PEF, and PEF%. Similarly, those who smoked shisha had lower FEV% values as compared to those who did not smoke shisha ( = 0.001). The decrease of FEV and FVC among smokers compared to nonsmokers is similar to what has been reported in the literature about other populations.
该研究的目的是确定烟草使用对职业运动员选定的健康指标和肺功能的影响。共有108名男性职业运动员参与了该研究，他们来自卡塔尔同一体育联盟的十支球类比赛队伍（年龄 = 26.4 ± 5.1岁，身高 = 190.6 ± 11.9厘米，体重 = 91.5 ± 16.4千克）。这些运动员平均从事职业运动约6.3年。除了人口统计学和烟草使用状况外，还测量了以下临床变量：静息血压、心率、用力肺活量（FVC）、第1秒用力呼气容积（FEV₁）和呼气峰值流速（PEF）。运动员中烟草使用率为27.7%。与不吸烟者相比，吸烟者的FVC、FVC%和FEV₁%显著更低（分别为P = 0.003、0.044和0.001）。吸烟者和不吸烟者在血压、心率、FEV₁、FEV₁/FVC、PEF和PEF%方面没有显著差异。同样，与不吸水烟者相比，吸水烟者的FEV₁%值更低（P = 0.001）。与不吸烟者相比，吸烟者中FEV₁和FVC的降低与文献中关于其他人群的报道相似。
