RESPIRATORY FUNCTIONS AND ANATOMICAL BALANCE IN BOXERS

OpenAlex Türkçe

The present study aimed toexamine the relationship between lung capacity and balance parameters inprofessional boxers. Twenty-six professional-level male boxers aged 16-20 yearsvolunteered to participate in the study. The respiratory and balance parametersof the athletes were analyzed via Pearson’s correlation with values ofP<0.05 accepted as statistically significant. A positive relationship wasdetermined for the values of volume taken in the first second/forced vitalcapacity (FEV1/FVC) with the average tracking error (ATE) (%), body mass index(BMI) with ATE (%), FEV1 with area used (E area) (mm2), FVC with Earea (mm2) and environment used (per mm), and for vital capacity(VC) with the Y-axis pressure to the central point (Av CoPY, mm). A significantrelationship was found between values of the distance and the area used byboxers to stand inbalance and the inspiration and expiration parameters. Thissuggests that the body balance is very effective and that the parametersrelated to the lung function and balance level should be evaluated together insports areas where the aerobic capacity is used extensively.
