Association of physical activity with lung function in lung-healthy German adults: results from the KORA FF4 study

Association of physical activity with lung function in lung-healthy German adults: results from the KORA FF4 study

Abstract Background In lung disease, physical activity (PA) yields beneficial health effects, but its association with the function of healthy lungs has rarely been studied. We investigated the association of accelerometer-based PA with spirometric indices, maximal inspiratory mouth pressure (PImax)...
