The effects of vocal function exercises on the lung function of trained female singers: a pilot investigation
… four week period using Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in once second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC ratio. Significant differences were found in both FEV1 (p=0.013) and FEV1/FVC ratio (P=0.009) after the completion of the exercises. This is most likely attributed to an increase in the …

An investigation of the lasting effects of thoracic manipulation and rib raising on spirometric measurements of asymptomatic participants
… significant increases were observed in both FVC (p=0.005) and FEV1 (p=0.002) within each of the three groups over time (pre-test, post-test, 1 week). However, no significant increases were found neither in the chest diameter values within the three treatment groups with respect to time nor …

Lung function in healthy South African adult females
… mothers with an abnormal Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), and 35 (8%) mothers with an abnormal FEV 1 /FVC ratio. There were 22 (5%) mothers who had reversible FEV 1; the rate of undiagnosed reversibility was 4% of the cohort. High body mass index was associated with a higher risk for poor FVC and FEV …
