Inspiratory Muscle Training (EMI) on Inspiratory Muscle Strength, Pulmonary Capacity and Performance in Soccer Players

NCT03383900 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: PMAFI-12/16
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 22

Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Breathing Exercises: Inspiratory Muscle Training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• RESPIRATORY CAPACITY

  The variable PImax. will be measured through spirometry whose value will be expressed in cm / H2O

  1 week

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Biofotogrametry

  1 week

• Sports performance

  1 week

• Lactate in blood

  1 week

• Static equilibrium

  1 week

Study Arms (2)

G-IMT

EXPERIMENTAL

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

Device: Inspiratory muscle training

Gn-IMT

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

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

Device: Inspiratory muscle training

Interventions

Inspiratory muscle training 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.
