Abstract

It is known that the respiratory system develops in response to exercise. However, it is not clear whether sport or music has a greater effect. The aim of this study was to investigate whether different types of sport and music have a greater effect on the development of the respiratory system. Individuals who continued their active sports and music life, who exercised regularly at least 3 days a week and whose FEV1/FVC ratio was above 75% were included in the study, while individuals with a history of lung disease, upper respiratory disease and less than 6 years of experience were excluded from the study. MGC Diagnostics brand spirometry was used to measure forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, forced vital capacity (FVC), slow vital capacity (SVC), inspiratory capacity and maximal volumetric capacity, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) and MicroRPM (Kent, UK) electronic respiratory pressure device. In our study, basketball players had higher respiratory muscle strength than opera singers (p<0.05). Differences were found in pulmonary function tests for forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second, slow vital capacity and maximal voluntary volume (p<0.05). It was observed that athletes had higher values in pulmonary function tests (FVC, FEV1, SVC, MVV) and maximal inspiratory MIP and MEP parameters than musicians (p<0.05). Therefore, exercise has a greater effect on the respiratory system than music.
