Abstract

1) Radiological evaluation of the lung volumes in Korean athletes to Mexico Olympic games was carried out and following results are obtained. 2) Mean lung volumes of the athletes in male is 6305.00+123.79 ml and 5114.00+200.23 ml in female. 3) Comparing with the healthy Korean adults, 20-25 years of age group, 1392.41 ml oflarger mean lung volumes in male athleres and 1720.96 ml in female are seen. 4) Greater lung volumes are obtainedin athletes as compared to the same height, weight and body surface area group of non-athletes. 5) Increase einlung volume is closely related with the increase of height Largest volume is observed inbasket ball players.
