However previous studies exist on either the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise or pelvic floor muscle exercise on pulmonary function. Research has also shown, that the effectiveness of pulmonary function depends on diaphragmatic breathing exercise and to a lesser extent on pelvic floor muscle exercise. However the effect of combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise on pulmonary function and physical fitness variables have not been studied. Therefore this study aimed to investigate the effect of combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise on pulmonary function and physical fitness variables in young male football players. In a randomised control trial design, 60 nonsmoking young male football players with the mean age of 14.18 (0.79) years, were randomly assigned to four groups (Group A, B, C, D) of 20 respondents in each group. The variables of pulmonary functions were measured at baseline using digital pony FX micro spirometer. The variables of physical fitness were measured using standard physical fitness test battery and the vital sign components were also measured. The Group A players were instructed to do diaphragmatic breathing exercise training, Group B players received pelvic floor muscle exercise training, Group C players received combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise training and Group D (Conventional sports training group) players received conventional sports training. All the four groups were informed to do the assigned exercises for 15 minute 5 times per week for 8 weeks along with their conventional sports training. Mid and post intervention measurements were carried out at the fourth week and the eighth week with identical baseline assessment protocol. The repeated measures ANOVA revealed that combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise was more beneficial in enhancing, the pulmonary function parameters of inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), expiratory reserve volume (ERV), inspiratory capacity (IC), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), and FEV1/FVC ratio, the physical fitness parameters of upper and lower limb strength, speed and the vital sign components of resting diastolic blood pressure (RDBP) than the pelvic floor exercise, diaphragmatic breathing exercise and conventional sports training. But combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise was observed to have no difference in improving the pulmonary function parameters of tidal volume (Vt), vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1), the physical fitness parameters of flexibility, core strength, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max), agility and balance, the vital sign components of resting heart rate (RHR), resting respiratory rate (RRR), resting systolic blood pressure (RSBP) than the pelvic floor exercise, diaphragmatic breathing exercise and conventional sports training. The use of combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise is effective in improving some of the pulmonary function, fitness, and vital sign parameters in young male football players. Hence it would be beneficial if this exercise is included as a part of sports training. Dissertations, Academic Sila masukkan subject wajib Dissertations, Academic. Terima kasih...

| summary | Recent scientific findings indicate that pelvic floor muscles contract eccentrically during inspiration and concentrically with abdominal muscle during expiration. However previous studies exist on either the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise or pelvic floor muscle exercise on pulmonary function. Research has also shown, that the effectiveness of pulmonary function depends on diaphragmatic breathing exercise and to a lesser extent on pelvic floor muscle exercise. However the effect of combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise on pulmonary function and physical fitness variables have not been studied. Therefore this study aimed to investigate the effect of combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise on pulmonary function and physical fitness variables in young male football players. In a randomised control trial design, 60 nonsmoking young male football players with the mean age of 14.18 (0.79) years, were randomly assigned to four groups (Group A, B, C, D) of 20 respondents in each group. The variables of pulmonary functions were measured at baseline using digital pony FX micro spirometer. The variables of physical fitness were measured using standard physical fitness test battery and the vital sign components were also measured. The Group A players were instructed to do diaphragmatic breathing exercise training, Group B players received pelvic floor muscle exercise training, Group C players received combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise training and Group D (Conventional sports training group) players received conventional sports training. All the four groups were informed to do the assigned exercises for 15 minute 5 times per week for 8 weeks along with their conventional sports training. Mid and post intervention measurements were carried out at the fourth week and the eighth week with identical baseline assessment protocol. The repeated measures ANOVA revealed that combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise was more beneficial in enhancing, the pulmonary function parameters of inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), expiratory reserve volume (ERV), inspiratory capacity (IC), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), and FEV1/FVC ratio, the physical fitness parameters of upper and lower limb strength, speed and the vital sign components of resting diastolic blood pressure (RDBP) than the pelvic floor exercise, diaphragmatic breathing exercise and conventional sports training. But combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise was observed to have no difference in improving the pulmonary function parameters of tidal volume (Vt), vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1), the physical fitness parameters of flexibility, core strength, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max), agility and balance, the vital sign components of resting heart rate (RHR), resting respiratory rate (RRR), resting systolic blood pressure (RSBP) than the pelvic floor exercise, diaphragmatic breathing exercise and conventional sports training. The use of combined diaphragmic breathing and pelvic floor muscles contractions exercise is effective in improving some of the pulmonary function, fitness, and vital sign parameters in young male football players. Hence it would be beneficial if this exercise is included as a part of sports training. |
