Background: A person is considered as underweight whose BMI is <18.5 Kg/m2 and whose body weight is too low to be healthy. Respiratory muscle strength is responsible for respiratory mechanics that cause expansion during inspiration and recoiling during expiration. The subjects lying in underweight category has lower absolute lean body mass and depletion of body resources of proteins and calories which cause 60% reduction in Respiratory muscle strength which shared equally among inspiratory and expiratory muscles. The lower body fat in Underweight individuals is responsible for lower PEFR. This results in reduced lung functions in underweights. There is evidence that states that Expiratory muscle strength training exercises improves PEFR. Resistance training with elastic band and PNF pattern shows increase in mobility and improves strength and upper extremity PNF activates accessory respiratory muscle. Breathing technique with elastic band simultaneously contracts external and internal oblique and rectus abdominal muscles . Hence it can be effective tool to help improve RMS and PEFR in underweight young adults. Aim: To study the effect of Upper Extremity PNF with resistance band on Respiratory muscle strength and PEFR in underweight young adults. Material and Methodology: Participants were explained about the nature of study and the intervention. Their informed written consent was taken. 37 participants were selected based on the selection criteria. Prior and after the treatment outcome measures; MIP, MEP, PEFR, and Upper extremity muscle strength were measured. The upper extremity PNF was performed with participant sitting parallel to side of railing on chair and resistance band was tied perpendicular to railing. Reversal of antagonist technique was used with pattern and Breathing technique was incorporated along with resistance exercise. Training consisted of total 4 weeks protocol, 3 session a week and each session consisted of 3 x 10 repetitions, with 60 sec rest interval between each sets. Results: Statistical Analysis was done using Paired t-test. Based on the results of the test analysis at 5% significance level, there is significant statistical reliable difference between pre and post treatment values with p-value less than the 5% significance level (<0.05) in the study and therefore it justifies the improvements in health outcome post intervention. Conclusion: Upper Extremity PNF along with Resistance band exercise is effective in improving MIP, MEP and PEFR in underweight young adults.
