Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP) and Extensor Strength of Back and Lower Extremity (ESBL) among healthy college students. Methods : 10 men (21.3±1.3 years, 115.32±16.67 ㎝H2O), and 10 women (20.5±0.7 years, 72.11±2.21 ㎝H2O) were participated in this study. Pony FX MIP/MEP was used to collect data of MIP and forced vital capacity. Back Strength Dynamometer was used to collect data of ESBL. Results : There was significant correlation between MIP and ESBL (p=.000, r=.942). And there are fair and strong correlation between MIP and weight (p=.000, r=.930) height (p=.000, r=.951), body mass index (p=.005, r=.606). However, the correlation between MIP and age was not statistically significant (p=.591, r=.429). Conclusion : The evaluation of MIP and ESBL and designed training of deep inner muscle which included with respiratory major muscle would be considered as a developing intervention for the patients with low back pain. |
