The Effects of Curl-up Exercise with Abdominal Hollowing on Slow Vital Capacity (SVC

Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the effect of curl-up exercises with abdominal hollowing on the slow vital capacity (SVC). Methods : The participants were 16 university students (12 females, 4 males) without any neurological, musculoskeletal, and cardiopulmonary dysfunction. They were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 8) and a control group (n = 8). The SVC was measured before and after curl-up exercises with abdominal hollowing. The experimental group performed 10 sets of curl-up exercises with abdominal hollowing. The control group performed 10 sets of sit-up exercises with abdominal bracing. Each set included three times of the exercise. Results : After curl-up exercises with abdominal hollowing, the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), inspiratory capacity (IC), and vital capacity (VC) significantly improved in the experimental group. However, no change was noted in the control group after sit-up exercises with abdominal bracing. Conclusion : The results show that curl-up exercises with abdominal hollowing can improve IRV, IC, and VC among SVC parameters.
