Purpose : This study attempts to examine the effect of the balance exercise on the unstable surfaces for the vital capacity in healthy adults.
Methods : A total of 13 subjects was randomly divided into a breathing exercise training group (n=7) and a breathing and
balance exercise training group (n=6). Changes in vital capacity and respiratory muscle activity were measured before and after the intervention. The intervention was performed three times a week for four weeks. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) were used as measurement tools for the vital capacity test. Electromyography (EMG) was also used to examine respiratory muscle activity.
Result : The breathing exercise training group showed significant improvement in terms of FVC, FEV1 and external oblique
(EO), and transverse abdominis/internal oblique (TrA/IO) of MVV. The breathing and balance exercise training group showed significant improvement in terms of FVC, MVV and EO, TrA/IO of FVC and rectus abdominis (RA), EO, and TrA/IO of MVV. However, in comparing changes in vital capacity and respiratory muscle activity before and after the training, the
breathing exercise training group and the breathing and balance exercise training group showed a significant difference in terms of MVV.
Conclusion : This study is as a preliminary study to find out the relation between a balance exercise and a vital capacity,
it is considered to require a further study with several revisions of subjects, duration and time for an intervention.
