Relationship between upper and lower extremities muscle strength and pulmonary function in Nigerian male amateur boxers
(Beziehung zwischen der muskulären Kraft der oberen und unteren Extremitäten und der pulmonalen Funktion nigerianischer Amateurboxer)
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between upper and lower extremity muscular strength and pulmonary function in Nigerian male amateur boxers. Twenty-six (26) male subjects who were at the training camp preparing for the 10th All African games showed interest and willingly participated in this study.Participants aged 22.50 ± 2.72 years with weight of 71.43± 13.42kg and height of1.75 ± 0.08m were all right hand dominant, and their competition weight class ranged from light flyweight (49Kg) to heavyweight (91Kg).Pearson`s product correlation coefficient technique was used to determine the relationship between the male amateur boxers` extremity muscle strength and pulmonary functions of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second [FEV1] and Forced Inspiratory Volume [FIV]. The results revealed that there was a significant positive correlation between FIV and weight, height, right and left lower extremity muscle strength; also, there was a significant positive correlation between FEV1 and height.
