Lung Function Decreased
Conditions
Brief summary
forty quarry workers participated in the study with age range (40-60 years), body mass index (BMI) from 25 to 34.9 kg/m2 (over weight and class 1 obesity). The patients divided into two groups randomly. (Group A) received aerobic exercises (Group B) receive aerobic exercises with moderate intensity in the form of walking on electrical treadmill for 30 min and inspiratory muscle training for 10 minutes., 3 sessions per week for 8 consecutive weeks. Pulmonary function test was applied by spirometry to assess lung function
