The Effect of Additional Air Stacking Exercise on VO2 Max A Study on Elderly with Restrictive Pulmonary Disorder Who Had Deep Breathing Exercise
Lisa Nurhasanah1, Sri Wahyudati2.
Introduction: Elderly people experience physiological changes that can cause or aggravate restrictive lung
disorders. The prevalence of restrictive pulmonary disorders in the elderly increases to 175 per 100,000 cases. The
increasing number of elderly people year by year in Indonesia is a special challenge in the world of health,
particularly in terms of maintaining cardiovascular fitness that can be assessed via VO2 Max. This study aims to
determine the effect of the addition of air stacking exercises to VO2 max of elderly with restrictive lung disorders
who have performed deep breathing training. Methods: This study was a true experimental randomized pre- and
post-test group design on the elderly with a restrictive lung disorder. Thirty subjects of elderly with restrictive
lung disorder who have performed deep breathing training and qualified the inclusion and exclusion criteria
were randomly divided into the experimental group who received additional air stacking exercise and the control
group. Each group performed training 5 times a week for 4 weeks. A 6-minutes walk test was carried out before
and after treatment to obtain the VO2 max value. Results: The difference in VO2 max value between the
experimental group and the control group, before and after the treatment, suggested a significant difference (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Additional air stacking exercise on the elderly with restrictive lung disorders who also performed deep
breathing training, improved physical fitness.
