Five minutes' field study on each Indian hockey player in a coaching camp.
Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was measured using portable Wright's peak flow meter on 21 male hockey players of Indian national hockey team probables attending a zonal coaching camp. The mean PEFR was observed to be 580.95 +/- 43.34 1/minute. The PEFR in hockey players were higher than those recorded in inter-university 'kabaddi', basketball players and football goalkeepers. All the group of players had shown higher mean PEFR than those of age matched healthy Indian males.
