“…This finding agrees with that reported by Najafi et al (2019) in youth soccer players, who, after a similar period of IMT, found no improvements in the analyzed spirometric variables. In contrast, other authors observed improved spirometric variables at rest in endurance runners with an IMT protocol of similar duration to the present study (Rozek-Piechura et al, 2020). Regarding the variables measured during the progressive incremental test, a significant difference in favor of the EXP group was observed in power associated with VO2max (pVO2max) and power associated with the VT1 threshold (pVT1) only.…”

“…A performance improvement was also observed in male rowers after four weeks of IMT, which was not verified when the expiratory musculature was trained during the same period ( Griffiths and McConnell, 2007 ). In elite endurance runners, eight weeks of IMT increased relative VO 2max and decreased post-training blood lactate values ( Rozek-Piechura et al, 2020 ).…”

“…IMT protocols have been used in different sports, with the aim of enhancing performance, as part of training programs of high-level athletes and complementary to their regular training (Cybulska and Drobnik 2015;Jurić et al, 2019;Rozek-Piechura et al, 2020). In trained swimmers, an improvement in inspiratory strength and performance in distances less than 400 m was observed after six weeks of IMT (Cirino et al, 2021;Kilding et al, 2010;Ohya et al, 2021).…”

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been used in different sports, although there is no consensus on its benefits. We investigated the effects of eight weeks of IMT in women's handball. Twenty-four players were randomly distributed into experimental (EXP; n = 13) and control (CON; n = 11) groups. Only the EXP group performed IMT using the POWERBreathe device, following indications of the manufacturers. Before and after the intervention, spirometric variables were evaluated at rest and during a graded test using direct analysis of respiratory gases. Perception of exertion at submaximal intensity was also determined. No significant differences were observed post- vs. pre-intervention (p ≥ 0.05) regarding forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the 1st second (VEF1), FVC/VEF1, maximal expiratory flow at 50% of FVC or peak inspiratory flow. Post-intervention, only the CON group increased their absolute and relative VO2max (2.1 ± 0.2 L/min pre vs. 2.2 ± 0.3 L/min post; 33.6 ± 3.6 ml/kg∙min pre vs. 34.5 ± 3.2 ml/kg∙min post, respectively). No significant improvements (p ≥ 0.05) were observed in VO2 associated with ventilatory threshold 1 (VT1), nor in the intensity associated with VO2max and VT1. However, there was a tendency for the mentioned variables to decrease in the CON group, while in the EXP group the trend was to maintain or increase previous values. IMT did not determine an improvement in the perception of exertion at submaximal intensity. The use of POWERBreathe, as described in the present study, is feasible in terms of time and effort, although its benefits may not be significant.

A Narrative Review of the Link between Sport and Technology

Background: Research on the application of technology in sports in Romania is completely lacking, and the existing studies at the international level have mainly been carried out in recent years. We considered it appropriate to highlight the best practice models of technology application in sports that can be multiplied, adapted, improved, and widely used. The paper aims to identify the use of technology and devices in sports, with an emphasis on their role in training and competitions with the aim of improving sports performance, to provide sports specialists, organizations, and authorities with a wide range of information regarding the connection between sport and technology. The results obtained regarding the application of technology in sports refer mainly to the following: techniques and technologies used in training and competition (portable localization technology and global positioning systems (GPS); Virtual Reality (VR) technology; video analysis; digital technologies integrated into sports training); aspects of sports training targeted through the use of technology (use of technology for athlete health, recovery, and injury management; use of technology for monitoring sports performance and various body indicators); training optimization and ecological dynamics and the sustainable development of sports. Conclusions: Unitary research, at a European or even global level, in a uniform theoretical and practical framework, could lead to much more efficient training with large increases in sports performance. The coaches and specialists working with the athlete determine the specificity of some elements of the training, depending on the characteristics of each athlete. Large clubs could become a factor in generating and disseminating knowledge related to training and competition monitoring, sports performance enhancement, and health, recovery, and injury management. Research directions for the use of technology in sport and the formation of connections with other fields can be extended. For example, combined technologies assisted by specialized software can be used. Creativity must be the starting point for the use and combination of existing technologies in sports and for the creation of new ones. Their creation and use involve the teamwork of athletes, coaches, and specialists from different fields, such as sports, physiology, psychology, biomechanics, informatics, etc.

“…IMT influence on pulmonary function in disabled swimmers showed a significant increase in ventilatory function and respiratory muscle strength (Okrzymowska et al, 2019). Rożek-Piechura et al (2020) reported a significant improvement in most of the lung ventilation variables and respiratory muscle strength in longdistance runners after 8 weeks of IMT using a POWERbreathe device; however, using a Threshold device, only the vital capacity improved significantly.…”

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has found its way into athletes’ routine as a promising way of improving pulmonary function in combination with standard training. The objective of the study was to examine the effects of resistive IMT on the pulmonary function variables in athletes of two combat sports, i.e., mixed martial arts (MMA) and kickboxing. Fourteen kickboxing and 12 MMA male athletes qualified for the study. They were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. While both groups participated in their standard training, the experimental group additionally participated in IMT which consisted of 30 breaths twice a day for 6 weeks. The pulmonary functions were measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of IMT. The addition of IMT to standard training increased significantly the forced expiratory volume in the first second to vital capacity ratio (FEV1/VC), and the maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) (p < 0.05) with changes of 5.7%, and 28.6%, respectively, in MMA athletes. The kickboxing group showed no significant changes. The interaction of the sport discipline and IMT intervention yielded a strong significant change in the MVV (F(1, 11) = 14.53, p < 0.01), and FEV1/VC (F(1, 11) = 20.67, p < 0.01) to the benefit of MMA athletes in comparison with kickboxing athletes. Combining resistive IMT for 6 weeks with standard training was effective to improve some pulmonary functions in MMA athletes, but did not lead to additional gains in kickboxing athletes.
