Brief summary
Background: Smoking is one of the most significant risk factors for respiratory diseases, affecting both lung function and overall respiratory health. The harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke, contribute to airway inflammation, oxidative stress, and structural lung damage. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate effect of Buteyko breathing exercise combined with postural stability exercises on maximal oxygen consumption, pulmonary functions, oxygen saturation, functional capacity, and perceived exertion in young adult smokers. Subjects and procedures: Forty male smokers were recruit-ed from Nahda university. Their age ranged between 18-30 years. They were randomly assigned into 2 groups equal in number. Study Group: They participated in 6 weeks training with Buteyko breathing exercise combined with postural stability exercises (3 sessions per week) Control group: They weren't exposed to any intervention. Both groups were assessed by using pulse oximeter to measure oxy-gen saturation, Spirostilk to measure pulmonary functions, Borg scale to measure perceived exertion and six-minute walk test to measure functional capacity and maximal oxygen consumption.
Interventions
OTHERButeyko breathing exercise combined with postural stability exercises
BBE: The therapist instructs the patient to sit comfortably, breathing naturally through the nose. They should hold their breath until the need to inhale arises, then exhale through the nasal passage. The patient maintains a straight back with feet shoulder-width apart, eyes closed, breathing calmly. After 20-30 seconds, they repeat the exercises for 3 minutes, followed by another pause and repetition. This is done for another 3 minutes, ending with a 2-minute rest before the next session. Duration: 15 minutes. PSE :Warming up phase: shoulder circles and twist torso during walking for 5 minutes. Training phase include 10-15 reps per set, 2-4 sets per exercise,30-60 seconds rest period between sets. Cooling down phase includes hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds, 2-4 reps per per side and rest for 15-30 seconds between reps. Bridging Side-lying leg raise Wall push-ups Lateral trunk flexion Chin tuck Stretch pectoralis major muscle,upper trapezius & SCM All these for 3/week for 6 weeks

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| maximal oxygen consumption | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks | it is the highest rate at which the body can take in, transport, and utilize oxygen during intense exercise. It is considered a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and endurance performance. Measured in: Milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). it was calculated by estimated method from six minute walk test by this equation 12.701 + (0.06 × 6-minute walk distance m) - (0.732 × body mass indexkg/m2) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 Second to forced vital capacity | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 week | Spirometry: was used to assess the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 Second (FEV₁) to forced vital capacity (FEV₁ /FVC) |
| forced expiratory volume in 1 Second | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 week | Spirometry was used to assess forced expiratory volume in 1 Second (FEV₁) |
| oxygen saturation | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks | it refers to the percentage of hemoglobin molecules saturated with oxygen.Pulse oximetry is a simple, non-invasive, widely available medical tool that measures SpO2 through a device attached to a finger, a toe or an ear lobe. |
| Maximum voluntary ventilation | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 week | Spirometry was used to assess maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) |
| perceived rate of exertion | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks | Measurement of PRE by Modified Borg scale It was used to rate how hard a person feels they are working from 0 to10 0 = No exertion at all & 10 = Maximal exertion |
| Functional capacity | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks | It was used to assess the cardiopulmonary fitness of the individuals. it is measured from 6-MWT |
| forced viral capacity | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks | Spirometry was used to forced vital capacity (FVC) |
