The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of training on the static and dynamic respiratory parameters in adolescent female swimmers (SWs) and finswimmers (FSWs).
Forty-six female adolescent SWs (n=24, age=17.6±0.7 years) and FSWs (n=22, age=17.0±1.2 years) volunteered for this study. All participants underwent standard spirometry and lung volume measurements and were collected anthropometrical and morphological characteristics.
The results of the groups in the pulmonary function test parameters, namely, inspiratory capacity (IC), expiratory reserve volume (ERV), and peak expiratory flow (PEF), were significantly different. Higher values of IC, ERV, and PEF were observed in the FSW group than the SW group: IC = 116.5±13.2 (SWs) vs. 125.5±11.5 (FSWs) % of predicted, p = 0.019; ERV = 121.8±14.8 (SWs) vs. 130.6±12.5 (FSWs) % of predicted, p = 0.036; PEF = 111.6±7.5 (SWs) vs. 116.3±5.0 (FSWs) % of predicted, p = 0.018.
The differences between groups probably reflect the activation of different muscle groups.
我们研究的目的是调查训练对青少年女性游泳运动员(SWs)和蹼泳运动员(FSWs)静态和动态呼吸参数的影响。
46名青少年女性SWs(n = 24,年龄 = 17.6±0.7岁)和FSWs(n = 22,年龄 = 17.0±1.2岁)自愿参与本研究。所有参与者均接受标准肺活量测定和肺容积测量,并收集人体测量和形态学特征。
两组在肺功能测试参数方面,即吸气量(IC)、呼气储备量(ERV)和呼气峰值流速(PEF),存在显著差异。FSW组的IC、ERV和PEF值高于SW组:IC = 预测值的116.5±13.2(SWs) vs. 125.5±11.5(FSWs)%,p = 0.019;ERV = 预测值的121.8±14.8(SWs) vs. 130.6±12.5(FSWs)%,p = 0.036;PEF = 预测值 的111.6±7.5(SWs) vs. 116.3±5.0(FSWs)%,p = 0.018。
两组之间的差异可能反映了不同肌肉群的激活情况。
