Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The training of the respiratory muscles seems to be fundamental in people who require a high physical demand. There is abundant scientific evidence that relates the respiratory variables and the limitation to exercise. The published studies are athletics and cycling, however it is scarce in football. Objective. To assess the effects of inspiratory muscle training on lung function and sports performance in soccer players.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective. To assess the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on lung function, inspiratory muscle strength and athletic performance in soccer players.

Method. Participants will be randomized into two groups: experimental and sham . The two groups will perform a protocol of 8 weeks of training (6 days / week) with the PowerBreathe device. The EG will use progressive resistance loads up to 80% of the MIP, while the SG will use the device with a minimum load (20% PImax) during the 8 weeks. All participants will have the following tests before and after the intervention and 3 months after the end of the program: spirometry (FVC, FEV1), PImax, biophotogrammetry, and fit 30/15 test. For the statistical analysis, a 2-factor variance analysis will be performed for repeated measures and Pearson's correlations. The statistical significance will be set with a value of p \<0.05. The effect size will be calculated using the partial eta-square.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

G-IMT

The experimental group will first carry out a diaphragmatic reeducation program, followed a posteriori by an inspiratory muscle training program use progressive resistance loads up to 80% of the PImax during the 8 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Inspiratory muscle training

Intervention Type DEVICE

The inspiratory muscle training program will be of the "strength and endurance" type, using the POWERbreathe® device and composed of: daily sessions (3 sets of 15 repetitions -inspiration), 6 days a week for 8 weeks. Participants will begin training breathing with a resistance of 20% of their PImax during the first week. After the first week, the resistance will increase between 5% and 10% in each session until reaching 80% of the PImax, which will be maintained during the first month. Upon completion, the PImax value will be re-evaluated and the player will train 80% of this new value during the second month. At the end of the second month, the PImax is evaluated and the player will train the third month with a resistance of 80% of this new value.

Gn-IMT

The Gn-IMT will use by an inspiratory muscle training program use resistance loads up to 20% PImax during the 8 weeks.

At the end of the second month, the PImax is evaluated and the player will train the third month with a resistance of 80% of this new value.
