No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in inspiratory muscle training on cardiorespiratory capacity, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, sports skills, and quality of life of wheelchair rugby athletes. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* Are the wheelchair rugby athletes show better results in cardiopulmonary assessment tests in safety and effort, in the post- inspiratory muscle training period, when compared to their results in the pre-inspiratory muscle training period?
* Is inspiratory muscle training capable of increasing ventilatory capacity at rest and during exertion?

Participants will be evaluated through questionnaires, laboratory and field tests, such as:

* Pulmonary function (spirometry),
* Inspiratory muscle strength (manovacuometry),
* Cardiorespiratory capacity under exertion (cardiopulmonary exercise test),
* Wheelchair rugby specific skills (Beck Battery)
* Quality of life (WHOQOL-DIS) .

Inspiratory Muscle Training

Inspiratory muscle training was performed for six weeks. Athletes performed two daily sessions of 30 forced inspirations followed by long but not maximal expirations, with load adjusted between 50% and 60% of maximum inspiratory pressure, five times a week. A specific device was used for this purpose (Classic, Powerbreathe, United Kingdom), with light or medium resistance adjustment, depending on the subject's maximum inspiratory pressure.
