Abstract

Objective: observe the effect of air negative oxygen ion content on the elderly people who suffer from poor lung function and who receive deep breathing training. Methods: choose a total of 60 elderly people who are 65~75 years old and who suffer from poor lung function. They are randomly divided into three groups by the air negative oxygen ion intervention content level, for example, low content group, middle content group and high content group. The three groups of the selected patients adopt the same training methods for rehabilitation training. The air negative oxygen ion content is controlled to be 40～50/cm3 in the low content group(it is common value in the closed urban residential area); the air negative oxygen ion content is controlled to be 2000/cm3 in the middle content group(it is common value in the urban parks);the air negative oxygen ion content is controlled to be 200000/cm3 in the high content group(it is common value in the forest falls zone).The three groups of the selected people are trained for 30 minutes once a day. Such training lasts for 90 days. When they are selected and after 90 days’ training, test and compare lung function indicators for three groups of the selected people. Results: after 90 days’ training, the lung function indicators in the high content group obtain the best effect. Conclusion: air negative oxygen ion content plays an obvious intervention role in the effect of lung functional training. If the functional rehabilitation training occurs in the air environment with high negative oxygen ion content, it can significantly improve the respiratory muscle strength and lung function.
