A comparison of ventilatory pulmonary functions between the National Cadet Corps (N.C.C.) of hilly and plain areas. Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology. 1981 Jan-Mar; 25(1): 69-72http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/107395National Cadet Corps (N.C.C.) were tested for assessing their physical efficiency level with special reference to respiratory performances. The height and weight of the cadets from hilly and plain areas were noted to be similar indicating alike attainment of growth. The mean values of all pulmonary function tests (FVC, IC, ERV+TV, FEV1, MEFR) except MVV were observed to be similar in both the group of subjects. The mean value of MVV was significantly higher in subjects from hilly area than that in those from plain area.engAdolescentAdultAltitudeHumansIndiaLung --physiologyMaleMaximal Voluntary VentilationMilitary MedicinePhysical Education and TrainingPhysical FitnessRespiratory Function TestsComparative Study
