Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of eight weeks of aerobic training on the pulmonary function of professional Taekwondo players.
Methods: The present study is a semi-experimental and practical study. Twenty well-trained male Taekwondo athletes participated in the study. They performed eight weeks (3 times/wk, 30 min/session) of aerobic training on a treadmill with 40-60 percent of the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max). Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) were measured.
Results: The results showed aerobic training had significant effect on forced expiratory volume in one second, forced vital capacity, and maximum voluntary ventilation (p<0.05) of well-trained male Taekwondo athletes from the Fars Province in Iran.
Conclusions: These findings indicate that well-trained male Taekwondo athletes will achieve a high level of pulmonary function through aerobic training.
