Abstract

Background: It is thought that swimming might elicit remarkable chronic lung function improvements that were not observed in land-based sports. However, there is no consensus on whether this is mainly attributable to genetic predisposition or specific training. This study aimed to characterize athletes' lung function according to their swimming experience.

Methods: The sample consisted of 45 male athletes, including 15 swimmers, 15 triathletes, and 15 runners. Spirometry tests were conducted under four conditions: seated on land, prone on land, seated while immersed in water, and prone while immersed in water. The tests were performed on the pool deck and pool, with the order of conditions randomized for each participant.

Conclusions: The results of this study do not support the idea that there is a window of opportunity for greater lung function adaptations during childhood due to swim training. The accumulated years of swim training are the reason for the increased measurements of FVC and FEV1 of swimmers. The immersed seated condition measures differences in lung function more accurately relative to swim training experience. Swim training appears to primarily enhance FVC in healthy athletes, while in allergic and asthmatic athletes, it mainly promotes improvements in FEV1/FVC and FEF25-75%.

健康和过敏性耐力运动员游泳训练后肺功能的变化。
背景:人们认为游泳可能会引起显著的慢性肺功能改善,这在陆地运动中没有观察到。然而,这主要是由于遗传易感性还是特殊训练,目前还没有达成共识。本研究旨在根据运动员的游泳经历对其肺功能进行表征。方法:以45名男性运动员为研究对象,其中游泳运动员15名,铁人三项运动员15名,跑步运动员15名。肺活量测定试验在四种情况下进行:陆上坐位、陆上俯卧、水中坐位、水中俯卧。测试在泳池甲板和泳池上进行,每个参与者的条件顺序随机化。结论:这项研究的结果不支持游泳训练在儿童时期有更大的肺功能适应机会的观点。游泳运动员FVC和FEV1测量值的增加是由于多年游泳训练的积累。相对于游泳训练经验,浸入式坐姿更准确地测量肺功能的差异。游泳训练似乎主要提高健康运动员的FVC,而在过敏和哮喘运动员中,游泳训练主要促进FEV1/FVC和FEF25-75%的改善。
