Abstract
Background: Obesity is often defined according to World Health Organization simply as a condition of abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in adipose tissue, to the extent that health may be impaired. Patient who are obese have increased respiratory rate,decreased total lung capacity,total lung volume etc compared to normal. Breath holding capacity is defined as the matters as the exchange of gases in the lungs during breath holding,the effects of hyperventilation and O2 inhalation on breath holding time, and the inter-relation of barometric pressure and breath holding ability. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise helps strengthen your diaphragm muscle, an important muscle that helps you breathe. The POWER breathe may be recommended to because of weak diaphragm muscle. It used to help strengthen the diaphragm by breathing against adjustable level of resistance. Objectives: The purpose of the study was to find out the immediate effect of diaphragmatic strengthening for breath holding test in obese class I students. Methodology: Study Design - Experimental study design. Subjects were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria with purposive sampling technique. Subject with obesity BMI 25kg/m2-29.9kg/m2 were taken. Breath holding test was used to assess the pre and post effect of diaphragmatic strengthening using POWERbreathe device at load 5. Result: The result were analyzed by using paired t test. The statistical significant analyzed was (p<0.001). Mean pre BHT of obese class I students was 24.57, mean post BHT of obese class I students was 32.3. Comparison of pre and post BHT in obese class I students using paired t test, p value obtained was (<0.0001) which is statistically significant. Conclusion: The study concluded that immediate effect is seen after diaphragmatic strengthening in breath holding test on obese class I students.
