Physical Training Reduces Chronic Airway Inflammation and Mediators of Remodeling in Asthma

Figure 7

Effects of SAT on lung mechanics of asthmatics. All 21 volunteers were evaluated for lung mechanics. Respiratory impedance at 5 Hz (Z5Hz%), resistance of whole respiratory system (R5Hz%), resistance of proximal airways (R20Hz%), resistance of distal airways (R5Hz-R20Hz%), reactance of respiratory systems (X5Hz), central resistance (RCentral), peripheral resistance (RPeripheral), and resonance frequency (RFres). The figures lacking a symbol indicating statistical significance mean that no significance was found. Graphs lacking a symbol indicating statistical significance mean that no significance was found on lung mechanics parameters after 12 weeks of aerobic training (pre-BD before vs. post-BD before).
