This study investigated whether diaphragmatic breathing intervention could lead to acute improvements in trunk and shoulder mobility and pulmonary function in healthy young adults. Twenty-six physically active males (aged 24.3 ± 2.0 years, body height of 182.9 ± 6.4 cm, and body weight of 82.8 ± 10.4 kg) were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. The experimental group underwent a 22 min diaphragmatic breathing intervention in a lying position. The control group lay passively, breathing naturally. Mobility assessments (chest expansion, thoracic spine rotation, lateral trunk flexion, and shoulder girdle mobility) and pulmonary function tests (forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second and their ratio) were conducted before and after the intervention. Only experimental group showed significant improvements after the intervention ( ≤ 0.01) in the chest expansion (+22.2%, ES = 0.62), thoracic spine rotation (+21.7%, ES = 0.76 on the left and +23.3%, ES = 0.84 on the right side), lateral trunk flexion (+11.7%, ES = 0.62 on the left and +15.4%, ES = 1 on the right side), shoulder girdle mobility (+20.2%, ES = 0.44 on the left and +21.5%, ES = 0.38 on the right side), forced vital capacity (+4.7%, ES = 0.39) and reduction ( ≤ 0.01) in ratio between forced expiratory volume in one second and forced vital capacity (-4.6%, ES = 0.47). The results revealed that a 22 min diaphragmatic breathing intervention could immediately improve trunk and shoulder mobility and pulmonary function, likely due to anatomical relationships and more efficient use of respiratory muscles, especially the diaphragm.
本研究调查了膈式呼吸干预是否能使健康年轻成年人的躯干和肩部活动度以及肺功能得到急性改善。26名身体活跃的男性（年龄24.3±2.0岁，身高182.9±6.4厘米，体重82.8±10.4千克）被随机分为实验组或对照组。实验组在卧位进行了22分钟的膈式呼吸干预。对照组被动躺卧，自然呼吸。在干预前后进行了活动度评估（胸廓扩张度、胸椎旋转度、侧躯干屈曲度和肩胛带活动度）和肺功能测试（用力肺活量、一秒用力呼气量及其比值）。干预后，仅实验组在胸廓扩张度（增加22.2%，效应量=0.62）、胸椎旋转度（左侧增加21.7%，效应量=0.76；右侧增加23.3%，效应量=0.84）、侧躯干屈曲度（左侧增加11.7%，效应量=0.62；右侧增加15.4%，效应量=1）、肩胛带活动度（左侧增加20.2%，效应量=0.44；右侧增加21.5%，效应量=0.38）、用力肺活量（增加4.7%，效应量=0.39）以及一秒用力呼气量与用力肺活量比值降低（降低4.6%，效应量=0.47）方面有显著改善（P≤0.01）。结果显示，22分钟的膈式呼吸干预可立即改善躯干和肩部活动度以及肺功能，这可能归因于解剖学关系以及呼吸肌，尤其是膈肌的更有效利用。
