Effect of a Respiratory Training Program Using Wind Instruments on Cardiopulmonary Function, Endurance, and Quality of Life of Elderly Women

Abstract: BackgroundPhysical changes due to aging lead to weakening of respiratory muscles and decreased lung functions that result in increasing risk of chronic respiratory disease. A complex respiratory rehabilitation program is needed to prevent respiratory diseases and improve lung functions and quality of life. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of respiratory training programs on pulmonary functions, cardiovascular endurance, and quality of life in elderly women.Material/MethodsThe program… Show more

“…Maximum ventilation values are often applied to measure cardiopulmonary function (Jang et al, 2017; Kim et al, 2018). Results of the study showed no significant difference for MV values between the EG and CG before intervention ( p = 0.464).…”

“…For improving the respiratory function using physical therapy interventions, various studies have been conducted using techniques such as core exercise, aerobic exercise and complex breathing exercise. Stabilization of the lumbar from transverse abdominis along with harmonious contraction of diaphragm have found to be an effective method to improve the respiratory function (5). Incentive spirometer proved to be an effective method in improving the inspiratory muscle strength in obese individuals and to improve the MVV, FEV1and FVC O as well.…”
