Brief Summary:
Effects of deep breathing exercise on pulmonary function, perceived stress and physical fitness among healthy smokers.
Detailed Description:
Smoking is injurious to health as cigarette contains harmful substances that cause different life threatening diseases, like bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular diseases etc. During normal breathing, oxygen is supplied to the body through blood circulation. But, in smokers, carbon monoxide (CO) is supplied to body instead of oxygen, resulting in respiratory issues, like breathlessness and coughing, in acute stages . Smoking decreases lung capacity, as it contains acidic substances which start damaging the lining of the bronchi and bronchioles due to which they become inflamed and infected, resulting into coughing, shortness of breath and chest pain that leads towards chronic bronchitis. This study will contribute our young smokers as they are adherent to smoking and its difficult for them to quit smoking. as their physical activity is limited, individuals under stress condition and with pulmonary complications so impact of this research is that along with helping smokers to quit smoking also applying alternative strategies to minimize complication and improve quality of life. and these alternative strategies include such activities that performed easily at home and do not require much effort or no need to go to gym or any other place to perform these exercises.
