There were no
significant relation between FVC and FEV1
improvements and BMI reduction, while FVC and
FEV1 improvements were positivity and significantly
correlated with MVV improvement (Table 4). MVV
is the measure of respiratory muscle performance
(19). Positive relation of MVV improvement with
FVC and FEV1 improvements showed that the
respiratory muscle performance enhancement due to
aerobic exercise can improve FVC and FEV1 in the
intervention group.
