简要总结
The principle function of the lungs is the facilitation of the gaseous exchange, commonly referred as respiratory or breathing. Cigarette smoking has detrimental effects on nearly every organ in the body, leading to a higher incidence of diseases and contributing to a gradual deterioration of the smoker's health.Cigarette smoking has detrimental effects on nearly every organ in the body, leading to a higher incidence of diseases and contributing to a gradual deterioration of the smoker's health.
Cigarette smoking is linked to mild airway obstruction and a deceleration in the growth of lung function.Performing balloon-blowing exercises with abdominal and lumbar core muscles activation position leads to an improvement on pulmonary function and quality of life in smokers.
详细描述
Cigarette smoking has detrimental effects on nearly every organ in the body, leading to a higher incidence of diseases and contributing to a gradual deterioration of the smoker's health, including a progressive impairment of lung function. Cigarette smoking is linked to mild airway obstruction and a deceleration in the growth of lung function.
Smokers may experience inflammation and narrowing of their airways, resulting in increased resistance to the outward flow of air during exhalation. This restriction in airflow can negatively impact respiratory parameters, exercise tolerance, and overall quality of life.
Performing balloon-blowing exercises with abdominal and lumbar core muscles activation position leads to an improvement on pulmonary function and quality of life in smokers.

研究组 & 干预措施
Interventional group
Patients in this group will receive balloon -blowing exercise with abdominal & lumbar core muscle activation position Total 4 weeks protocol. Three sessions per week will be supervised by physical therapist.
干预措施: Balloon-blowing exercises with abdominal & lumbar core muscle activation position. (Other)
Control group
Patients will receive diaphragmatic breathing exercises. Total 4 weeks protocol.
Before and after 4 weeks pre and post interventional values will be taken.
干预措施: Diaphragmatic breathing exercise (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
FVC (forced vital capacity):
时间窗: 4 weeks
FVC (forced vital capacity): The amount of air that can be maximum forcefully be exhaled after taking deep breath.
FEV1
时间窗: 4 weeks
FEV1(Forced expiratory volume in 1 second): The volume of air that is forcefully exhaled in one second.
FEV1/FVC
时间窗: 4 weeks
FEV1/FVC: The ratio of the forced expiratory volume in the first one second to the forced vital capacity of the lungs.
PEF (Peak expiratory flow)
时间窗: 4 Weeks
PEF( Peak expiratory flow): Measurement of the highest speed at which a individual can exhale air from their lungs after a full inhalation.
Dyspnea
时间窗: 4 Weeks
Evaluation will be done using mMRC dyspnea scale (0-4). 0 I only get breathless with strenuous exercise 1. I get short of breath when hurrying on level ground or walking up a slight hill 2. On level ground, I walk slower than people of the same age because of breathlessness, or have to stop for breath when walking at my own pace 3. I stop for breath after walking about 100 yards \[91 meters\] or after a few minutes on level ground 4. I am too breathless to leave the house or I am breathless when dressing
Quality of life of participant
时间窗: 4 weeks
Quality of life questionnaire (SF-36) will be used to evaluate smokers QOLSF-36 Questionnaire (0-100). Each question carries equal weight the lower the score the more the disability. The higher the score the lesser the disability. 0: Maximum disability 100: No disability
Oxygen saturation
时间窗: 4 weeks
Pulse oximeter will be used to measure oxygen saturation
