ABSTRACT
Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the Comparison between effects of balloon blowing exercise (BBE) in Semi Fowlers (45 degree), Upright & 90/90 Bridge with ball position on Peak expiratory flow rate in healthy individuals.
Participants & Method: Participants were randomly assigned in respective groups to perform the balloon blowing activity. The exercise programs were conducted 30 minutes per day, 5 times a week for 4 weeks, Peak expiratory flow rate was measured with mechanical equipment called Peak Expiratory Flow Meter before and after the exercise program period.
Results: Effectiveness of Semi fowlers position for Balloon blowing activity is significantly more than that of Upright and 90/90 Bridge Position with Ball on Peak expiratory flow rate pre and post values(p<0.005).
Conclusion: With accordance to objectives, Comparison of Peak expiratory flow rate values in pre & post exercise in three positions shows that there is improvement of group A(Semi fowlers position)> Group C(90/90 Bridge with ball position)>Group B(Upright position)
Keywords: Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), Balloon blowing exercise (BBE), Semi fowlers position, Upright position, 90/90 Bridge will ball position.
