Many studies have also shown that body fat percentage and distribution reduce the activity of respiratory muscles (Khani, 2012; Mailo, 2003) and lead to a general decline in the dynamic compliance of the lungs, which has a significant effect on respiratory function (McArdle, 2010). Parallel to this information, Oke et al., (2015) found a positive correlation between forced inspiratory volume (FIV) and weight, height, body fat percentage (% BF) and fat mass per weight (FMWt) values in boxers, as well as between FEV1 and height. As a result, they stated that in male amateur boxers, there was a significant relationship between body composition parameters and inspiratory capacity (Oke et al., 2015).
