Summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial on the efficacy of inspiratory muscle training on swimming performance, airway dysfunction and perceived breathlessness in elite swimmers.

Conditions

  • Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome (Disorder)
  • Muscle Weakness
  • Dyspnea

Interventions

OTHER

Inspiratory Muscle Training

The Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) group will perform 30 inspiratory efforts, 5 times a week, twice a day, for 12 weeks, against a pressure threshold load equivalent to 50% of maximal inspiratory pressure.

OTHER

Sham Inspiratory Muscle Training

The Sham Inspiratory Muscle Training (Sham-IMT) group will perform 30 inspiratory efforts, 5 times a week, twice a day, for 12 weeks, against a pressure threshold load equivalent to 15% of maximal inspiratory pressure.
