Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in the first Second): is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in the first second, after full inspiration. In another words, this indicator shows the volume of expiratory air in the first second of vital capacity. (Vital Capacity; The maximum volume of air that can be blown out after a very deep inspiration). Timepoint: Before and after the 6th and final week of the intervention, as a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). Method of measurement: Using spirometry, measured in Liters.
