About

The goal of this clinical trial is to study whether there are significant differences between the control and experimental groups in terms of the improvement in lung function of the athletes who have performed Inspiratory muscle training with powerbreath. The main question it aims to answer is:

• the study that power breath is effective in providing improvements in inspiratory muscle strength, lung function, exercise capacity, quality of life, analytical parameters, dyspnea, fatigue and activities of daily living and impacting their sporting success.

Researchers will compare specific powerbreath training with nettraining period without this device.

Participants will:

• Perform regular sports training along with powerbreath training for 10 weeks
• A washout period of two months
• Perform regular sports training for 10 weeks

21 participants in 4 patient groups

Training routine and additionally perform Inspiratory Muscle Training 1

Experimental group

Description:

The experimental 1 group will follow their regular training routine and additionally perform Inspiratory Muscle Training using the PwB Medic Plus device. This training consists of 30 breaths, twice daily, with a resistance load set between 40% and 60% of their Maximum Inspiratory Pressure. The intervention will last for 10 weeks

Treatment:

Device: Inspiratory Muscle Training 1
