Inspiratory and Expiratory Muscle Training in Adolescent Volleyball Players

January 7, 2025 updated by: Zeliha ÇELİK, Gazi University

Effects of Inspiratory and Expiratory Muscle Strength Training on Respiratory Functions and Performance in Adolescent Volleyball Players

This study will investigate the effects of inspiratory and expiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and performance status in adolescent athletes

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In the literature, it has been shown in a limited number of studies that respiratory muscle training in sports such as football, cycling, swimming, and rugby reduces athletes' perceived exertion levels. However, the effects of inspiratory and expiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and performance status in adolescent athletes are still unclear. Therefore, this study has been planned.
