Efeitos de um treinamento muscular inspiratório sobre a capacidade de endurance em individuos sedentários

Abstract

The inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has demonstrated positive effects on increasing the strength and performance of the ventilatory muscles is reflected in improved performance in the development of physical activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) to improve function and performance of respiratory muscles, the perceived effort (RPE) as well as increased endurance capacity. Study participants were eight individuals with an average of 40 years, of both sexes, sedentary, 6 women and 2 men. After 24 sessions of physical activity associated with IMT or not, held three times a week, it was observed by evaluating the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), an improvement in inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength, but have not found significant changes in physiological traits of performance. These results prove that the TMI is able to provide favorable changes in inspiratory muscle strength in sedentary individuals, but no significant effect on endurance capacity of these individuals.
