| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our results indicate that thicker internal and external oblique muscles may increase the peak expiratory flow in elderly individuals, when compared to elderly individuals with thinner internal and external oblique muscles. Fast expiration and maximum expiration for the internal oblique muscle and trunk movement for the external oblique muscle might be effective training in the prevention of the decrease of expiratory flow. The external oblique muscle thickness had a positive correlation with muscle mass in elderly individuals. Therefore, not only abdominal training but also physical activities could be an intervention in preventing a decrease of ability of fast expiration.
