Effect of Pyramidal Aerobic Training on Ventilatory Function in Cigarette Smokers
Conditions: Cigarette Smoking, Impaired Ventilatory Function, Respiratory Function in Adult Smokers
Sex: Male
Ages: 18 Years – 28 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 40
Sponsor: Cairo University
Location: Faculty of Physical Therapy, Ahram Canadian University Giza October City
Summary
Statement of the problem:
Does the pyramidal aerobic training affect ventilatory function parameters in smokers?
Null hypothesis:
Pyramidal aerobic training has no significant effect on ventilatory function parameters (such as Forced Vital Capacity \[FVC\], Forced Expiratory Volume in one second \[FEV₁\], and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate \[PEFR\]) in adult smokers.
