Methods: Statistical population of this study consisted of men with respiratory diseases in the gas company workers in Tehran. For this purpose, 48 male with respiratory diseases and with age range of 45 ± 3 years, were selected and were divided randomly into four groups of 12 people. This groups included training group, Glechoma, training and Glechoma and control groups. Physical training program include of circular resistance training program in respiratory muscles that for eight weeks, three times in a week and each session was 30 to 40 minutes and With regard to the principle of overload. Consumption of Glechoma Extract with amount of 5mg/kg/day was used . spirometric indices include: FEV1 / FVC, PEF, FEF25% -75%, FIVC FVC, FEV1 was performed before and after of eight weeks resistance training. For the analysis of all variables used Paired T-tests and ANCOVA in levels of significant at P ≤ .05 and also use bonefrony test . Results: The results showed that resistance training and consumption of Glechoma extract were significant increasing in the index of FVC, FEV1, PEF. But resistance training and consumption of Glechoma extract were not statistically significant on indicators of FEV1 / FVC, FEF25%-75%, FIVC . Conclusion: The results showed that circular resistance training in breathing muscles and Glechoma extract can improve function selection of respiratory indicators. }, URL = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-3592-en.html}, eprint = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-3592-en.pdf}, journal = {Razi Journal of Medical Sciences}, doi = {}, year = {2016} }
