INTRODUCTION
To investigate the effects of 8 weeks inspiratory muscle training(IMT) on the pulmonary function and aerobic capacity.
METHOD
Subjects of this study were 18 collegiate wrestlers(CON=9, EXE=9) who had participated in basic wrestling training(CON) and basic training with IMT(EXE), respectively. IMT was performed using an inspiratory pressure-threshold device(POWERbreath TM , Gaim, UK) and IMT group performed 30 dynamic inspiratory efforts twice daily for 8 weeks. Statistical analyses were performed using the Two-way repeated measures ANOVA by SPSS Ver. 18.0.
RESULT
First, There were significantly difference an interaction effects in FEV1, FVC. and PEF, respectivelt(p<.05, p<.05, p<.05). Second, There were no significantly difference CON and EXE on aerobic capacity.
CONCLUSION
These findings that our results demonstrated as effects of performed to basic wrestling training with IMT on pulmonary function in EXE. Accordingly, It is desirable for IMT treatment period conducted at least 6 weeks or more. |
