Characterisation of exacerbations in non-CF Bronchiectasis to establish endpoints in measuring treatment efficacy
… (actual and percentage predicted) and Forced vital capacity (percentage predicted) do not change during the course of an exacerbation. Forced vital capacity actual may be used as an endpoint. pH of exhaled breath condensate in bronchiectasis is lower than in healthy subjects but does not …

The Effects of Frequent Smartphone Use on Children’s Upper Posture and Pulmonary Function
… the changes in the cervical spine. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were measured to evaluate pulmonary function. Maximal voluntary …

The effect of lymphatic pump techniques on the FEV and FVC measurements in people with asthma: a pilot study
… expiratory volume in one second (FEV) and forced vital capacity (FVC) outcomes, in 15 subjects with asthma and 15 subjects without asthma. All 30 subjects performed spirometry testing, followed by the single application of a lymphatic pump technique to the upper chest. Spirometry measurements were …

The effects of vocal function exercises on the lung function of trained female singers: a pilot investigation
… and end of the 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 …

The Association of demographic and physiological variables and risk of subsequent disease progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
… computed tomography and the change in forced vital capacity (L) over 14 weeks (prodromal ΔFVC) from placebo-treated patients, were used to generate predictive models for weeks 14–66 for change in forced vital capacity (FVC), time to disease progression (as a composite of mortality and …

Neuromuscular Ultrasound as a Biomarker of Disease Progression in ALS
… Rating Scale score (ALSFRS) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), the biceps, tibialis anterior, and diaphragm at both inhalation and exhalation showed significant correlations to FVC. The biceps muscle thickness percent decrease also correlated significantly to ALSFRS decline. The ultrasound …

Predictors of Knee Extensor Strength in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
… in one second expressed as percent of the forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), thigh muscle volume, and/or thigh muscle attenuation (as a measure of fat infiltration) were significant predictors of knee extensor strength. RESULTS: Thigh muscle volume and FEV1/FVC accounted for 72.3% of the variance …
