Abstract

This prospective study's objective was to determine the impact of lung Boost exerciser on pulmonary functions in iron deficiency anaemia. Forty patients (18 males and 22 females) with iron deficiency anaemia were recruited from haematology department in AL-Kasr Al Ainy hospital where the study was conducted. Participants were aged between 20 to 35 years old. They were assigned randomly into two groups; study group(A) which were twenty patients received lung boost exerciser program for thirty minutes, three times/week in addition to medical treatment and twenty patients in control group(B) received medical treatment only. The exercise lasted from 520 minutes including 15 deep breaths, and 15-second rest in between. The total treatment period for both groups was twelve weeks. Pulmonary Functions which included Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in the First Second (FEV1), and the ratio of FEV1 to FVC (FEV1/FVC) were evaluated for all patients in both groups at the beginning of the study and after 12 weeks by using spirometer.
