Abstract

Purpose: To date, many previous studies on core muscle training have demonstrated its effectiveness onmotor performance. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of abdominal core training on balanceability and pulmonary function for smokers.
Methods: Eight healthy males (age: 24.75±6.60), smoking for more than three years participated in this study.
Balance ability and pulmonary function were measured before and after 4-week intervention period andcompared. The intervention was conducted twice a week during a total of 4 weeks
Results: There was only significant change in expiratory minute ventilation (VE, P<.001), while balance abilityand other pulmonary tests (expiratory and inspiratory vital capacities, expiratory reserve volume, inspiratoryminute ventilation and tidal volume) did not showed significant changes.
Conclusion: Through the results of this study, it was confirmed that abdominal core training had a preferentialeffect on respiratory function over balance ability, and in particular, a preferential change was found inexhalation rather than inhalation. Therefore, it was concluded that abdominal core training would be usefulin patients with pulmonary disease.
