Abstract
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses support the benefits of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) for sports and clinical populations. A typical application of "standalone" IMT intervention consists of breathing against an inspiratory load (IRL), twice daily, for 5-7 days/wk, for 4-12 wk. However, the application of IRL during aerobic exercise is often seen in a training routine of sports and rehabilitation centers with no evidence-based guide. In this Perspective, we will revisit putative mechanisms underlying the established benefits of "standalone" IMT to support our contention that IMT need not and should not be used during aerobic exercise.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology publishes original research covering the broad scope of molecular, cellular, and integrative aspects of normal and abnormal function of cells and components of the respiratory system. Areas of interest include conducting airways, pulmonary circulation, lung endothelial and epithelial cells, the pleura, neuroendocrine and immunologic cells in the lung, neural cells involved in control of breathing, and cells of the diaphragm and thoracic muscles. The processes to be covered in the Journal include gas-exchange, metabolic control at the cellular level, intracellular signaling, gene expression, genomics, macromolecules and their turnover, cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, cell motility, secretory mechanisms, membrane function, surfactant, matrix components, mucus and lining materials, lung defenses, macrophage function, transport of salt, water and protein, development and differentiation of the respiratory system, and response to the environment.
