Introduction
- Diaphragmatic fatigue during maximal exercise causes decreased blood flow to exercising limbs.
- Inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) may decrease diaphragm fatigue.
- Current studies use 50% of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) for IMST, but optimal dosing at higher intensities has not been well explored.
Objective
- Investigate the impact of high intensity IMST on aerobic capacity and maximal inspiratory pressure in healthy adults.
Methods
- This study was IRB approved by the university.
- All participants provided informed consent, and demographic information was collected.
Results
- VO2 max did not change significantly in either intervention group after intervention period (p=0.143).
- Groups demonstrated significant improvement …
