The Effects Of Different Body Positions On Pulmonary Functions In Adolescent Football Players

The present study aims to examine the effects of different body positions on pulmonary functions in adolescent football players. Twenty-three healthy male players who did not have any diseases and smoke participated voluntarily. Pulmonary function tests (PFT) were determined by using a spirometer. Measurements performed sitting, standing supine determine effect functions. One-way analysis variance repeated measurements was used compare mean differences respiratory variables three positions, Bonferroni correction test which position difference existed. All statistics SPSS 26.0 package program. As result applications, FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, FEFmax MVV parameters measured while sitting found be statistically significantly higher than (p0.05). Highest values reached FEFmax, SVC IC capacity position. result, it that affect significantly. It is thought preferred should taken into account when interpreting PFT measurement results.
