The purpose of this study was to investigate the general pulmonary functions among the Hong Kong elite swimmers. Forty swimmers were randomly tested. Two prediction equations were computed based on the regression analysis of the data. It is hoped that the present information concerning the pulmonary functions of local elite athletes will be useful for the Hong Kong coaches as well as sport scientists.

香港的運動生理學正在起飛階段，各項運動的教練在訓練上注入這個元素，令運動員之演出大有進步，全運會自行車金牌選手黃金寶便是最佳例子。四十個精英泳手被隨機抽樣調查。運動員被劃分爲1)長/短距離，2)性別，3)少年組/高級組，他們的肺活量被測試，調查員還推算兩條方程式，希望可供本港教練和運動員參考。
