ABSTRACT
RATIONALE While the beneficial effects of physical fitness on general health are well-documented, the specific relationship between different types of physical fitness, particularly cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscular endurance fitness (MEF), and lung function in physically active young adults remains less explored.

OBJECTIVE:

This study investigated the relationship between CRF and MEF, and their correlation with lung function in physically active young adults.

METHODS:

This cross-sectional study involved a cohort of 1227 physically active young adults without lung diseases. Lung function was assessed using FEV1, FVC, and FEV1/FVC measurements. The 3000-m run was used to assess CRF, and the 2-min push-up and sit-up tests were used to assess MEF. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationships between these fitness measures and lung function, adjusting for potential covariates.

RESULTS:

Enhanced CRF was associated with superior FEV1 and FVC after adjusting for covariates (ß=-.078, p=.015 for FEV1; ß=-.086, p=.009 for FVC). Push-ups were positively associated with FEV1 (ß=.102, p=.014), but not with FVC. In contrast, sit-ups showed no significant correlation with lung function in the fully adjusted model.

CONCLUSION:

The study demonstrated a clear association between improved physical fitness and better lung function in physically active young adults, with various exercises showing distinct associations with lung metrics. Notably, push-ups were particularly associated with higher FEV1. A future prospective study is necessary to determine whether routine exercises, such as push-ups, might lead to greater lung function.
