The association between physical activity and lung function in adolescents: a cross-sectional NHANES study by Xiaoyuan Chen, Jinhai Ma, Linghua Dong, Yan Chen, Keke Chen

“…While physical activity is known to improve respiratory health, its impact on specific lung function parameters in adolescents, particularly across different activity intensities, remains underexplored.MethodsWe analyzed the effects of varying intensities of PA on lung function parameters—specifically Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 s (FEV₁), and Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF)—in a sample of 896 adolescents aged 12–19 years. Linear regression analyses were employed to examine the relationship between PA duration and lung function, adjusting for potential confounders. …”
