Table 2. Comparison of pulmonary function and kyphosis angle in pre-test and post-test of self-stretching group (N=10)

Pre test Post test t value p value
Pulmonary function (%) FEV (L) 3.97±0.79 4.09±0.78 −7.22 <0.01*
FEV1 (L/sec) 3.69±0.62 3.77±0.62 −2.57 0.03
PEF (L/sec) 5.05±1.12 5.14±1.19 −1.89 0.09
Kyphosis (deg) 44.30±1.97 34.60±1.71 5.21 <0.01*
Data are expressed as mean±SD. FVC, forced vital capacity; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1sec; PEF, peak expiratory flow;
