PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of aquatic exercise on pulmonary function of patients with spinal cord injury. SUBJECTS: The subjects were randomly allocated to an aqua group (n = 10) and a land group (n = 10). METHODS: Both groups trained for 60 minutes, 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Pulmonary function was assessed by measuring the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory flow rate (FER), force expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) and force expiratory volume at one second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC). RESULTS: Following the intervention, the aqua group showed significant changes in FVC, FER, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC. The land group showed only significant differences FER. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest the effects on the aqua group were significantly higher than those on the land group in patients with spinal cord injury.
