Peak expiratory flow in healthy, young, non-active subjects in seated, supine, and prone postures.

CONCLUSION: Body posture affects PEF in healthy, young, non-active subjects. PEFs are higher when subjects are in a seated position compared to prone or supine positions, but no difference in PEF is observed between the prone and supine positions. PMID: 27253194 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
