Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Warm-Up on Shooting Performance in Elite Air-Rifle Shooters
- Conditions
- Change in Shooting Performance Score
- Registration Number
- NCT07193108
- Lead Sponsor
- Gümüşhane Universıty
- Brief Summary
This randomized controlled study investigates the acute effects of inspiratory muscle warm-up (IWU) on shooting performance in elite male air-rifle athletes. Participants were randomly allocated to either IWU plus general warm-up or general warm-up only. Shooting performance and respiratory muscle strength were assessed before and after the interventions.
- Detailed Description
Provide background (respiratory muscle function, postural stability in shooting), rationale, methods, intervention details (POWERbreathe, 40% MIP, 2×30 breaths), and expected outcomes.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Respiratory parameters 1 week Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP) \[cmH₂O\] Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP) \[cmH₂O\]
Change in Shooting Performance Score 1 week Change in Shooting Performance Score (measured pre- and post-intervention using 60-shot simulated air-rifle competition; scale 0-654 points).
Achieving a high score in shooting performance indicates a high shooter performance assessment, while achieving a low score indicates low shooter performance.
