Materials and Methods: In this regard, we carried out a comparative study on pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in swimmers of Ahmedabad city along with the persons of sedentary lifestyle. PFTs were carried out using RMS Helios 702 portable PFT machine. The data obtained were compiled, statistically analyzed, and compared with the control group.

Results: Our results showed statistically significant higher lung volumes and flow rates in the swimmers than sedentary person.

Conclusion: Swimming is advisable exercise to improve respiratory efficiency.
