Effects of Cosmetic Corset on Vital Capacity in Female College Students
Kim Ki-Song

Abstract
Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the influence of lung function according to a variety of corset pressures.

Method : Total 15 healthy women (21.3¡¾0.7 years, 56.1¡¾5.5 weight) were recruited in this study. All participants wore a corset with pressures (0 mmHg, 10 mmHg, or 30 mmHg) in a sitting position, and then measured forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV 1 ), and maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) using a spirometer.

Results :
The FVC and MIP values showed significantly decreases according to the pressure increases. Also, FEV 1 significantly reduced in wearing a corset with 10mmHg compared to 0mmHg.

Conclusion : These findings indicate that wearing a corset with greater pressure (30mmHg) might influence on lung capacity. It can be explained that wearing a corset might limit abdominal mobility, which increases intra-abdominal pressure. Therefore, these findings suggest wearing a corset with greater pressure should be considered for further lung capacity.
