Combined Inspiratory Muscle Training and Functional High-Intensity Interval Training in Boys With Obesity (IMT and HIIT)

3. září 2026 aktualizováno: Coşkun YILMAZ, Gümüşhane Universıty

Combined Inspiratory Muscle Training and Functional High-Intensity Interval Training Promote Respiratory, Diaphragmatic, and Aerobic Adaptations in Children With Obesity

Childhood obesity is associated with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness, impaired exercise tolerance, and altered respiratory mechanics. This randomized controlled trial investigated whether combining inspiratory muscle training with functional high-intensity interval training improves diaphragm morphology, respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, aerobic fitness, and functional exercise capacity in boys with obesity. Fifty boys aged 10-12 years were randomly assigned to six weeks of combined inspiratory muscle training and functional high-intensity interval training or usual activity.

Detailní popis

This prospective, two-arm, randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of a six-week combined inspiratory muscle training and functional high-intensity interval training program in boys aged 10-12 years with obesity.

Fifty participants were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either a combined training group or a usual-activity control group. The intervention consisted of progressive inspiratory muscle training performed five days per week and functional high-intensity interval training performed three non-consecutive days per week for six weeks.

Inspiratory muscle training was performed using a threshold pressure-loading device. Training commenced at 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure and increased by 5% each week, reaching 55% of maximal inspiratory pressure in week 6. Each session consisted of two sets of 30 inspiratory efforts.

Functional high-intensity interval training was performed three times per week. Each approximately 35-40-minute session consisted of a standardized warm-up, a functional high-intensity interval circuit, and a cool-down. The circuit included wall sit, incline push-up, seated knee-to-chest exercise, shadow boxing, Superman exercise, and low-step-up exercise. Training intensity was progressively increased by manipulating work-to-rest ratios and circuit volume.

The control group continued habitual daily activities without participating in structured exercise or respiratory muscle training during the six-week study period.

Primary outcomes were diaphragm thickening fraction, inspiratory diaphragm thickness, and expiratory diaphragm thickness. Secondary outcomes included maximal inspiratory pressure, maximal expiratory pressure, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second, FEV₁/FVC ratio, six-minute walk distance, estimated VO₂max, body composition, and perceived exertion.

Assessments were performed at baseline and after the six-week intervention under standardized laboratory conditions between 15:00 and 17:00. Diaphragm ultrasonography was performed by a radiologist blinded to group allocation

Intervence / Léčba
Experimentální: Combined IMT + Functional HIIT
Participants received six weeks of combined inspiratory muscle training and functional high-intensity interval training in addition to their usual daily activities. Inspiratory muscle training was performed five days per week, and functional high-intensity interval training was performed three non-consecutive days per week.
Inspiratory muscle training was performed using a threshold pressure-loading device (POWERbreathe). Participants trained once daily, five days per week, for six consecutive weeks. Each session consisted of two sets of 30 inspiratory efforts. Training began at 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure in week 1, with the training load progressively increased by 5% each week to reach 55% of maximal inspiratory pressure in week 6. Training pressure was reassessed weekly, and all sessions were supervised by a certified exercise specialist.
Functional high-intensity interval training was performed three times per week on non-consecutive days for six weeks. Each session lasted approximately 35-40 minutes and consisted of an approximately 8-minute warm-up, a functional high-intensity interval circuit, and an approximately 5-minute cool-down. The circuit included wall sit, incline push-up, seated knee-to-chest exercise, shadow boxing, Superman exercise, and low-step-up exercise. Training intensity was progressively increased by manipulating work-to-rest ratios and the number of circuit cycles. Perceived exertion was monitored using the Borg CR-10 scale.
Žádný zásah: Usual Activity Control
Participants continued their habitual daily activities throughout the six-week study period and did not participate in structured exercise or respiratory muscle training. They were instructed not to initiate a new exercise program until study completion.

Popis opatření
Časové okno
Inspiratory Diaphragm Thickness
Časové okno: 6 weeks
Inspiratory diaphragm thickness (DTins) was measured by ultrasound at the end of maximal inspiration at the zone of apposition of the right hemidiaphragm. Three measurements were obtained and averaged. The measurement represents an ultrasound-derived index of diaphragm morphology.
6 weeks
Diaphragm Thickening Fraction
Časové okno: 6 weeks
Diaphragm thickening fraction (DTf) was assessed using diaphragm ultrasonography and calculated as [(end-inspiratory diaphragm thickness - end-expiratory diaphragm thickness) / end-expiratory diaphragm thickness] × 100. Measurements were obtained from the right hemidiaphragm at the zone of apposition. Three measurements were obtained in each respiratory phase and averaged for analysis.
6 weeks
Expiratory Diaphragm Thickness
Časové okno: 6 week
Expiratory diaphragm thickness (DTexp) was measured by ultrasound at the end of maximal expiration at the zone of apposition of the right hemidiaphragm. Three measurements were obtained and averaged. The measurement represents an ultrasound-derived index of diaphragm morphology.
