Abstract

The research was focused on finding connections stabilizing function of the body on the respiratory function. The research group consisted of 14 healthy young subjects.

During the measurement, which lasted 60 " (one standing on the ground and second on balancing rotating segment), the proband of the camera to assess the variability upright positions (3D trajectories C7) and also was picked Spiro record volume of exhaled air. Watching these two phenomena that h ave natural variability and body resolves the situation by keeping the individual functions within a certain tolerance band.

The destabilization caused by standing on unstable surface, resulted in deflections increase, especially in the anteroposterior dir ection, the selected reference vertebra C7. Moreover, the increased frequency corrected fluctuations in the ratio of about 1:6.

The role of maintaining upright positions increased variability of individual breaths, caused an increase in isolated larger tid al volumes and shorter expiratory phase of breathing and the slight increase in respiratory rate.
