Overview
Brief Summary
This study investigates the impact of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on pulmonary function and aerobic capacity in recreational basketball players through a randomized controlled trial. Participants were divided into two groups: one undergoing IMT and the other undergoing placebo IMT. The findings suggest that IMT significantly improves pulmonary function (e.g., lung volumes and capacities) and enhances aerobic capacity (measured through VO2 max), compared to the control group. These results imply that adding IMT to regular training could benefit athletes by boosting respiratory efficiency and endurance performance .Participants will be randomly assigned to either IMT group or placebo IMT for 4 weeks. Outcome measures include pulmonary function, Aerobic capacity.
Patients will be recruited after getting CTRI registration no.
