Abstract

Introduction: According to previous studies, it has been shown that weakness in balance and low capacity of pulmonary capacity is one of the main problems in people with congenital deafness. There is a close and meaningful relationship between pulmonary function. Also, balance is one of the factors affecting the quality of life. Its improvement improves the quality of life. The simultaneous strengthening of respiratory and balance improvement functions should be emphasized in order to bring a quality of life closer to normal. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a combination of aerobic training and central stability on respiratory volume and balance of congenital deaf students. Methods: This study was a single-blind clinical trial performed at a Deaf School in Qazvin, Iran. The present study was a post-test and pre-test design was performed on 24 congenital deaf students who were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (each group of 12). The experimental group performed exercises for 6 weeks and 3 sessions per week for 60 minutes. During the same period, the control group did not participate in any training program. Before and after training, the volume and pulmonary capacities were measured by a Spirometer, static balance using the (BESS) and dynamic balance test using Star Balance Test (SEBT) was measured. Data were analyzed by the independent samples t-test and ANCOVA test (P ≤ 0.05). Results: According to the results of this study, there was a significant difference in the mean post-test of dynamic and static balance and respiratory functions after carrying out training program in the intervention group. Conclusion: It seems that the aerobic and core stability combination training can improve respiratory volumes as well as a static and dynamic balance in hearing impairment and can be used in conjunction with other training programs.
