Abstract
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are commonly used for evaluating respiratory status and
managing persons with known pulmonary disease. They have become part of routine health
examinations in respiratory, occupational, and sports medicine, and in public-health
screening. The results of PFTs are interpreted in relation to normal range reference values, as
recommended by the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European
Community forCoal and Steel (ECCS). Spirometry is a gold standard pulmonary function test
that measureshow an individual inhales or exhales volumes of air as a function of time. It is
the mostimportant and most frequently performed pulmonary function testing procedure,
having becomeindispensable for the prevention, diagnosis, and evaluation of various
respiratory impairments. Anumber of 61 football players were divided into 2 groups
according to their age, 13 (13.85 ± 3.26) and27 years (23.82 ± 3.32). This study was organized
by the Institute of Medical, Experimentaland Applied Physiology and Anthropology, Medical
faculty – UKIM, Skopje. The spirometry method was performed with the Spirobank II
spirometer (Rome, Italy), for the followingparameters: forced vital capacity (FVC), forced
expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1),and the ratio FEV1/FVC ratio.Body composition
analyzer InBody 720, Great Britain, was usedto determine body weight (kg), body height (cm),
body mass index - BMI weight (kg / m 2 ),skeletal muscle mass SMM (kg) and the amount of
proteins (kg) and minerals (kg). We did notfind any statistically significant differences for
forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratoryvolume in the first second (FEV1), and the ratio
FEV1/FVC ratio.
