Smoking immediately prior to spirometry testing can significantly interfere with the results by causing acute bronchial constriction and altering lung function. It can lead to increased airway resistance and decreased airflow, which may falsely indicate impaired lung function. Additionally, smoking can introduce particulate matter and toxins that affect the accuracy of measurements. As a result, the test may not accurately reflect the individual's true respiratory status.
That is the correct spelling of "spirometry" (breathing measurement).

Spirometry is a diagnostic method for measuring gases and respiratory function. Incentive spirometry may be ordered to help patients practice and improve controlled breathing.
The suffix "-metry" in the term spirometry means "measurement." In spirometry, it refers to the process of measuring the volume of air that moves in and out of the lungs during breathing.
Smoking does effect your health and your performance. You probably can tell a huge difference by not smoking in your performance. Hope this helps

Spirometry has several limitations, including its dependence on patient effort and technique, which can lead to variability in results if not performed correctly. It may not accurately capture lung function in individuals with certain conditions, such as restrictive lung diseases, where lung volumes may not be fully assessed. Additionally, spirometry cannot diagnose all respiratory conditions, as it primarily measures airflow and does not provide information on gas exchange or lung mechanics. Lastly, factors like age, sex, height, and ethnicity can influence normal values, potentially leading to misinterpretation of results.
Normal results in a spirometry test typically indicate that the lungs are functioning effectively, with measurements falling within the expected range for a person's age, gender, height, and ethnicity. Key parameters assessed include Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1), where a normal FEV1/FVC ratio is generally above 70%. Normal spirometry results suggest that there is no significant obstruction or restriction in airflow. Any deviations from these norms may indicate respiratory issues that require further evaluation.
