• Purpose: To examine the effect of respiratory physiotherapy among men with obstructive respiratory disorder, in relation to abdominal circumference (AC). Methods: Quasi-experimental study including 26 men split into two groups according to AC(cm): 1) < 102 (AC risk-free ); and 2) ≥ 102 (AC risk ). Heart rate variability (HRV), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ), FEV 1 /FVC, slow vital capacity (SVC), inspiratory capacity (IC), maximal inspiratory pressure (PI max ), thoracoabdominal amplitude (AI) were measured: before (M 1 ); 5 min after the physiotherapy (i.e. breathing exercises for airway clearance and active kinesiotherapy) (M 2 ); and at follow-up, 30 min after physiotherapy (M 3 ). Results: The groups differed in age, body mass index and body fat %. At M 2 IC was different between groups (AC risk-free < AC risk ). There was an increase in HRV indexes, PI max , SpO 2 , axillary AI, FEV 1 /FVC, and reduction in HR for AC risk-free . There was a decrease in AI and an increase in DBP for AC risk . Conclusion: In men with obstructive respiratory disorder, increased AC measurement limited the thoracoabdominal expansibility and induced a rise of the DBP. Respiratory physiotherapy promotes an increase of cardiac modulation and inspiratory capacity for men with obstructive respiratory disorder.
