  • Title: Maximal expiratory flow-volume loop in a southern Indian college sportsmen.
    Author: Rao KV, Vijayan VK.
    Journal: Indian J Physiol Pharmacol; 1988; 32(2):93-9. PubMed ID: 3182068.
    Abstract:
    Flow volume loops using computerised pulmonary function testing equipment were analysed in twenty sportsmen of Loyola College, Madras. There was no significant difference in mean P.E.F.R. (P greater than 0.2) and VE 25% (P greater than 0.2) in sportsmen, compared to Indian or American normals. On the other hand, the mean VE 50% (P less than 0.05) and VE 75% (P less than 0.001) were significantly higher in sportsmen compared to Indian values, but was similar to those reported in American normals (P greater than 0.1). Inspiratory flow rates were similar to those reported in Indians. Our results show that there is an increase in maximal expiratory flow rates at lower lung volumes in Southern Indian College Sportsmen compared to Indian normals.
