“…Our findings are in line with Purnama et al [27], who found lung function to be correlated with physical activity and aerobic capacity in healthy adolescents. Their study concluded that adolescents of both sexes with a higher vital lung capacity had a better aerobic capacity and physical activity level.…”

Introduction: Thalassemia, a genetic hemoglobinopathy, results from a defect in globin chain production. It is characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, and complications related to multiple transfusions can lead to higher morbidity. Accordingly, this study examines the correlation between pulmonary function and physical fitness in children with β-thalassemia major.Material and methods: This observational-correlation study was conducted between August 2022 to January 2023 at Abo EL-Reesh Al Mounira Hospital for children. The study included 34 children (17 boys and 17 girls) with β-thalassemia major, aged 6-10 years. The exclusion criteria included children with defined cardiovascular or respiratory disorders, renal failure, and recent thoraco-abdominal surgery or aneurysm. The following pulmonary functions were assessed using a spire spectrum neuro-soft spirometer: vital capacity (VC), maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEF). Health-related physical fitness, as functional capacity, was measured by a 6-min walk test, with energy expenditure determined using the energy expenditure index (EEI). Skill-related fitness, as balance, was measured with a pediatric balance scale.Results: Pulmonary function was found to be significantly positively correlated with functional capacity and balance in children with β-thalassemia major (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Pulmonary rehabilitation is of significant value in children with β-thalassemia major.

“…Adults breathe about 16 and 18 times per minute, toddlers about 24 times per minute, and newborns about 30 times per minute. Despite the fact that adults' respiratory rates are slower than those of toddlers and babies, the vital capacity of the adult (Purnama et al, 2020).…”

Exercise can have a physiological effect on the body, including the work system of the heart and lungs. The lungs have an important role in human life, where there is an exchange of oxygen with carbon dioxide through the respiratory process. In terms of health, exercise needs to be done by every human being, because exercise can increase the work of the lung muscles, whereas if the lung muscles work well, the ability to accommodate oxygen or the vital capacity of the human lungs also increases. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of physical exercise on vital lung capacity. This research method uses a pre-experimental approach with pre and post-test one-group design. The sampling technique of this study used a random sampling of 30 respondents. The instruments used were observation sheets from the examination of vital lung capacity and spirometry. Analysis Research data analysis using the Wilcoxon Rank Test. The results of the Wilcoxon Rank Test statistical test obtained P = 0.000 with a safety level of = 0.05 meaning P value = . Conclusion It can be concluded that there is a difference in the vital capacity of the lungs before and after participating in the sacred tapak exercise so that this research is expected to be useful for athletics in improving physical fitness, especially by routinely doing sports or physical exercise such as participating in the sacred tapak exercise.
