| Sumario: | Introduction: Nowadays, several treatments with the aim of improving the posture include the Global Postural Reeducation (GPR). This method presents a special concern with the respiratory muscle reeducation and has been shown its positive influence on respiratory mechanics. Objective: The proposal of this research was analyze the respiratory system adaptations related to lung function in response to a muscle treatment program using the GRP. Method: Fifteen volunteers, in both sexes, non-smokers, with ages varying from 19 to 55 years old were selected. The GRP was performed twice a week totalizing 15 sessions. The group was subjected to the Pulmonary Function Test. Results: There were found significant differences between the values of all analyzed variables and the highest values were obtained after the GRP intervention. Conclusion: The GRP showed its efficiency in promoting the increase of the spirometrics variables. |
