Effects of Aerobic Exercise Program with Half-bath on Body Composition and Pulmonary Function

Purpose : This study aims to investigate how aerobic exercise and aerobic exercise programs with half bath can affect body composition and pulmonary function. Methods : A total of 20 subjects were enrolled in this study. The subjects were divided into two groups: aerobic exercise with half-bath program (n = 10) and only aerobic exercise (n = 10). The two groups performed the exercise four times a week over a period of 5 weeks. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare the data before and after significant difference of factors in each group;and the Mann-Whitney test was used for a comparison between groups. Results : In this study;the results showed the following. On the aerobic exercise with half-bath program group;by comparing the body composition before and after intervention;there was a significant difference in the amount of skeletal muscle and body fat. However;by comparing pulmonary functions before and after intervention;there was no significant difference in FVC;FEV1;and VC. Conclusion : According to our results;it seems that the aerobic program with half bath might have an effect on body composition.
