تأثير التمارين البدنية للأطفال المصابين بالربو في كوردستان

Abstract EN

Introduction.

Physical exercises significantly affect the individual functional and physical improvement that let the human body acquires high fitness through motor activity and develops its vital functions.

Aim of Study.

The study aims to develop aerobic physical exercises to children with asthma and its impact on breathing variables like forced expiratory volume/second, FV1, vital capacity FVC, the maximum expiratory flow PFC and the ratio of forced expiratory volume /second to the vital amplitude FV1/ FVC.

Material and Methods.

The study relied on the experimental approach for 8 children with asthma (ages 10-14 years) using 12 sessions.

The exercise unit duration was 50 minutes.

Variables measurements were determined for the study before and after the test.

Results.

The Pre-FV1 was 2.14±0.03; the post was 2.19±0.05; t value was 7.03 with a significance value of 0.001; where the Pre-FVC was 2.50±0.07; and the post was 2.68±0.10; with a t value of 13.35 and a significant value of 0.001.

Furthermore, Pre PFC value was 4.72±0.04; the post was 4.73± 0.04 with a t value of 7.93 and a significance value of 0.001.

Conclusions.

Finally, Pre value of FV1/FVC was 0.85±0.01; the post value was 0.81±0.02 with a t value of 19.85 and a significance value of 0.001, which is less than a significant value of 0.005.

Therefore, it indicates the significant differences of the study variables and the positive aerobic exercises of the post-test for children with asthma.

So, it is highly recommended to practice physical exercises for children with asthma and to follow-up with specialists.
