小兒痳痺患者游泳訓練前後心肺功能之比較

Abstract

Swimming is one of the best' exercises for poliomyelitis patients. 31 members-in YMCA swimming training program participated in this study. We used the paired-t test to analize the changes of cardiopulmonary function changes.After 3 months training course, there was increase in pulse rate, systolic blood pressure and rate-pressure product at arm-crank rate of both 60rpm and 90rpm. The maximal insipiratory pressure (Pi max) and maximal expiratory pressure (Pi max) were significantly increased. The decrease in resting pulse rate and vital capacity were statistically insignificant (P:0.05). The severity of the scoliosis in polimomyelitis could affect the result of swimming training, but the relationship between these factors need further investigation and study. From our result, swimming can improve the myocardial oxygen uptake capacity, endurance and strength of respiratory muscle. So we should encourage the poliomyelitis patients to take part in swimming exercise for rehabilitation and also for the increase of the self-esteem and confidence.
