Variable | Group | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Male (n=14) | Female (n=12) | |||
Normal (n=7) | FHP (n=7) | Normal (n=5) | FHP (n=7) | |

FEV1 | 4.5±0.4 | 3.6±0.4* | 3.2±0.4 | 2.5±0.4* |
*p < 0.05. SD: standard deviation, FHP: forward head posture, FVC: forced vital capacity, FEV1: forced expiratory volume at 1 second
