본연구는 체력단련이 폐기능에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 나아가 종목별 선수들의 폐기능을 비교 분석하여 선수군과 비선수군, 그리고 종목별 선수들간에 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 연구대상으로 운동경력이 5년 이상에 달하는 남자 대학생 검도선수 15명, 펜싱선수 10명, 씨름선수 10명 및 카누선수 9명과, 선수경력이 없고 평소 규칙적으로 운동을 하지 않는 일반학생 10명을 임의 선정하였다. 이들을 대상으로 폐기능 검사를 실시한 후 각 집단간 차이를 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 정적폐용적에서 폐활량은 집단간에 유의차가 있었으며(p<0.01), 씨름선수군이 검도선수군과 비운동선수군보다 유의하게(p<0.05) 높았다. 흡기예비량과 호기예비량에서는 집단간 유의차가 발견되지 않았다. 1회호흡량은 씨름선수군이 카누선수군 및 비운동선수군보다, 펜싱선수군이 카누선수군 보다, 그리고 검도선수군이 카누선수군보다 각각 유의하게(p<0.05) 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 동적폐용적에서 노력성 폐활량은 카누선수군이 검도선수군 및 비운동선수군보다 유의하게(p<0.05) 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 노력성 호기량 0.5초값, 1초값 및 1초율은 집단간에 유의차가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 노력성 호기유속 0.2-1.2L값, 25-75%값, 25%값, 50%값, 75%값 및 최대호기유속에서는 집단간에 유의차가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 노력성 흡기유속 0.5초값은 씨름선수군이 다른 집단보다 유의하게(p<0.05) 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 50%값 및 최대흡기유속은 씨름선수군이 펜싱선수군, 카누선수군 및 비운동선수군보다 유의하게(p<0.05) 높은 것으로 나타났다. 초시흡기량 0.5초값에 대한 초시호기량 0.5초값의 비는 펜싱선수군이 검도선수군 및 씨름선수군보다 유의하게(p<0.05) 높은 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 최대환기능은 각 집단간에 유의차가 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 최대환기능 측정시의 호흡수는 검도선수군이 다른 집단보다, 그리고 펜싱선수군, 카누선수군 및 비운동선수군이 씨름선수군보다 유의하게(p<0.05) 높은 것으로 나타났다. 최대환기능 측정시의 평균1회호흡량은 씨름선수군이 다른집단보다 유의하게(p<0.05) 높은 것으로 나타났다.

This study was aimed to elucidate the effect of physical fitness training on pulmonary function. 44 healthy male subjects(15 Kumdo players, 10 Fencing players, 10 Ssirum players and 9 Rowing players) who have undergone regular physical training for more than five years were randomly chosen as athletic subjects, and 10 regular students who have not been engaged in any form of regular physical exercise or training were chosen as nonathletic subjects. The measurement results of pulmonary function test were compared among athletic groups by events and nonathletic group. The results were summarized as follows. 1. In static lung volume, VC was significantly(p<0.01) different among each group. Especially Ssirum group was significantly(p<0.05) higher than Kumdo group and Nonathletic group. IRV and ERV showed no significant difference among each group. TV was significantly(p<0.05) different among each group, and Ssirum group was significantly(p<0.05) higher than Rowing group and Nonathletic group. 2. In dynamic lung volume, FVC was significantly(p<0.05) different among each group. Especially Rowing group was significantly(p<0.05) higher than Kumdo group and Nonathletic group. FEV_(0.5), FEV₁ and FEV₁/FVC were not significantly different among each group. 3. FEF_(0.2∼1.2L), FEF_(25∼75%), FEF_(25%), FEF_(50%), FEF_(75%) and PEF were not significantly different among each group. 4. FIV_(0.5) were significantly(p<0.05) different among each group. Especially Ssirum group was significantly(p<0.05) higher than other groups. FIF_(50%) and PIF were significantly(p<0.01, p<0.05 respectively) different among each group. These values of Ssirum group were significantly(p<0.05) higher than those of Fencing group, Rowing group and Nonathletic group. FEV_(0.5)/FIV_(0.5) was also significantly(p<0.05) different among each group. The value of Fencing group was significantly(p<0.05) higher than that of Kumdo group and Ssirum group. 5. MVV was not significantly different among each group. But RR and MTV measured during MVV measurement were significantly(p<0.001) different among each group. Kumdo group was significantly(p<0.05) higher than other groups in RR, and Ssirum group was significantly(p<0.05) higher than other groups in MTV.
