Brief Summary

To determine the Effects of 6 weeks of Step Aerobics Training on Pulmonary Functions among females with sedentary life style. Traditional aerobic training programs has great effects to improved pulmonary functions in individuals with sedentary life style but on the other hand there is another type of aerobic training named step aerobic which is different from traditional training up-to knowledge has less work on pulmonary function but effective on functional score, and walking velocity this gap further need to identify. This study will help us to choose either of training program to get maximum beneficial outcomes particularly on pulmonary function test on female students with sedentary life style.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)

    Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second FEV1 in Liters

    6th week

  • Forced vital Capacity (FVC)

    Changes From the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced vital Capacity in Liters.

    6th week

  • Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)

    Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze peak expiratory flow PEF in Liter/second.

    6th Week
