Effects of Aerobic Exercise and Respiratory Muscle Complex Training on Improvement of Blood Hemoglobin, Lung Function, and Anemia in Women with Exercise Anemia

Abstract

This study is aimed at suggesting a physiological improvement method for exercise anemia by improving hemoglobin in the blood and oxygen transport capacity by improving lung function by combining aerobic exercise and respiratory muscle training for women with exercise anemia. The subjects of the study were 26 women of childbearing age who showed symptoms of exercise anemia, and only subjects who scored 12 g/dL or higher on the blood hemoglobin test and 2 points or higher on the VES-A test were selected to perform only aerobic exercise (Aerobics Exercise Group) and Respiratory muscle training groups were assigned to each group of 13 people. The results of the 10-week program are as follows.BR 1. Combination of respiratory muscle training effectively increases hemoglobin compared to single aerobic exercise.BR 2. Combination of respiratory muscle training effectively strengthens lung function compared to single aerobic exercise.BR 3. Combination of respiratory muscle training effectively improves symptoms of anemia compared to single aerobic exercise.BR Therefore, the combination of respiratory muscle training and aerobic exercise can be suggested as an effective exercise therapy to improve female exercise anemia rather than single aerobic exercise, and is considered suitable for increasing hemoglobin in the blood and strengthening lung function.
