Abstract
BACKGROUND: An enthusiasm for physical exercise is often developed in the paediatric age group through collective game-based sporting activities. Regular exercise via sports can create positive effects on the respiratory systems of boys as well as on their overall growth and development. To help identify deviations from positive trends in these areas, respiratory function tests have become an essential part of the diagnosis and assessment of pulmonary disease.
