What can 5-6 weeks of breathing muscle training change? 🫁
Participants completed resistance IMT at 70% of daily maximal inspiratory pressure, with sessions consisting of 30 breaths.
Following the intervention, researchers reported significant increases in:
💨 Inspiratory muscle strength (S-Index)
💨 Peak Inspiratory Flow
🫁 Diaphragm thickness
The study also found a 7.63% improvement in peak power among female participants!
A fascinating look at how respiratory muscle adaptations may extend beyond breathing strength alone.
