A study of Peak expiratory flow rate and Vital capacity between Indoor and Outdoor games male players

Abstract

The present investigation was an attempt to find out the differences in Peak expiratory flow rate and Vital capacity between Indoor and Outdoor games male players. Total sixty players acted as subjects in this study (30 in each group) from Bilaspur district (C.G.). Indoor games were Badminton, Table Tennis and Boxing whereas Football, Hockey and Cricket were taken under Outdoor games. Ten players were taken from each game. The subjects were ranged from 16 to 25 years. Peak flow meter was used to measure Peak expiratory flow rate and Spirometer was used to record Vital capacity for collecting the data from the subjects. To find out the differences in Peak expiratory flow rate and Vital capacity between the groups (Indoor and Outdoor games Players) independent t-test was applied. After analyzing the data significant differences were reported between Indoor and Outdoor games Players.
