Abstract

The aim of the study is to find correlation between lung function and different health-related parameters: Body Mass Index (BMI), physical activity (PA) and aerobic fitness, to enable us to present an alternative method for improving their pulmonary function. Method: This is an observational analytic cross-sectional study. Forty-three 12-15 years old (26 boys and 17 girls), had no cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic disease. Subjects performed Bruce exercise testing. Vital capacity was measured using spirometry and physical activity using PAQ-A questionnaire. Correlation between level of physical activity, aerobic capacity, BMI with vital lung capacity was analysed using Pearson trial with p value < 0.05 considered significant. Result: Data has normal distribution. Mean age of participant is 13. Correlation coefficient between vital capacity and BMI showed r = 0.197 p 0.206, Correlation between vital capacity and aerobic capacity showed r = 0.426 p = 0.004. Correlation between vital capacity and physical activity showed r = 0.506 p 0.001 Conclusion: Higher vital lung capacity is correlated with higher aerobic fitness and higher physical activity in adolescence of both genders.
