The maximum volume of oxygen consumption is noted during maximum exercising in condition like just after 3 minutes Harvard step test. The VO 2 max is improved by regular exercise. The factors such as age, gender, BMI, physical fitness, training, altitude etc affects the VO 2 max. This volume of oxygen consumption level signifies the physical activity of an individual. Purba Medinipur or East Medinipur is southernmost district, administrative unit in Indian state of West Bengal. This study to finding out the level of maximum volume of oxygen consumption and find out the relation between VO 2 max and PFI of both college students, exercising and non exercising (normal) in Purba Medinipur district of West Bengal state. For the determination of VO 2 max of college students the heart rate ratio method is used where required resting heart rate (HR rest ) and maximum heart rate (HR max ). The regular exercising college students shows more VO 2 max value than non exercising college students as well as the physical fitness index (PFI) or physical activity of exercising college students is more and prevents risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, over body weight or obesity etc.

Comparison of physically active and inactive males on breathing variables
Yoga, breathing, 2019
120 males in the age group of 18 to 25 years who attended a regular check up programme over a 2 weeks camp were studied. The marathon runners, weight lifters and yoga group participants were those who had actively participated in related program at least 4 days a week and done at least 45 minutes of training or practice whereas the control group were sedentary males. Spirometric data for each participant were collected for that active period of time ensuring that there was not more than 3 days gap in the training of each experimental group participant. The study included the following sports: marathon (full) runners (n = 30), control (n = 30), weightlifting (n =30), yoga (n=30), control group (n=30). One way ANOVA statistical package SPSS 23 version was used to draw inferences. It was observed that the marathon runners and yoga group showed significant breathing parameters as compared to weightlifting and control group. 1. Introduction Regular aerobic exercise performed for conditioning or for performance enhancement have beneficial effects on various systems of our body. The energy supply for performing an activity takes place with the unified working of circulatory and respiratory systems primarily. Unlike a number of studies on cardiovascular components and how they adapt to intensive physical activity, there is a dearth of studies on respiratory system in athletes (e.g. vital capacity, maximum flow rates etc.). The physical and physiological fitness of an individual can be gauged through lung function tests by evaluating his/her pulmonary function. Spirometry is a physiological test used in sports performance enhancement and evaluation that measures how an individual inhales or exhales volumes of air as a function of time (in seconds or in minutes), quality (magnitude or capacity) and quantity (in liters). Spirometry is the most commonly used pulmonary function test (PFT) measuring and evaluating respiratory system functions. Sports training age influences the lung volumes to a great extent but there are particularly less studies in the field that are comprehensive in nature. With the increasing practices of yoga, pranayama and other such exercises that claim to have a strong impact on lung capacity, it is pertinent to study the influence of such practices as an adjunct to sports training and solely without any other intervention amongst the sedentary persons. The purpose of this research was to study and compare pulmonary function in different types of sports and compare them with controls and amongst themselves in order to find out which sports/group improves which lung function variable in comparison to the other groups.
Effect of Aerobic Training on Endurance Capacity of the Sedentary South Indian Males
Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences, 2017
BACKGROUND Nowadays the efficiency of doing work in respect of endurance capacity is a great question, especially in sedentary males. Aerobic type of exercise training can improve that endurance capacity through its effective inputs, mainly on Cardiovascular and Respiratory system of body. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether regular aerobic exercise for 21 days can increase the endurance capacity of the sedentary Telugu males. MATERIALS AND METHODS 100 Telugu subjects were divided into 50 "Experimental" and 50 "Control" subjects. Both were asked to exercise in bicycle ergometer with 2 kg workloads for 30 mins and their BP and HR were measured before and after exercise. The experimental group was allowed to get regular exercise training for 21 days. After 21 days, again the same parameters were studied in the same manner. Statistical Analysis-The statistical analysis of the subject was done by SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Sciences), Version 16.0. RESULTS Due to 3 weeks endurance training, the mean resting SBP of trained subjects significantly (p = 0.0001) decreases to 108.32 ± 7.45 mmHg than their untrained counterpart as 116.84 ± 8.53 mmHg. However, no significant (p = 0.269) difference observed between them regarding resting DBP. The resting Heart Rate (HR) of the trained subjects also significantly (p = 0.0001) decreases to 67.82 ± 4.93 beats/min than their untrained counterpart as 72.68 ± 5.01 beats/min. On the other hand, the endurance capacity of the trained subjects significantly (p = 0.0001) increases than the untrained. CONCLUSION We concluded that regular aerobic exercise training for 3 weeks significantly reduces the resting HR and SBP with no signific ant change in DBP, thus it significantly increases the endurance capacity.
