简要总结
The main objective of the study is to study the changes in FEV1 with the introduction of the specific inspiratory muscle training programme in the training programme of the popular athletes included. In addition, the secondary aims are to observe the differences in the respiratory capacities of the patients, in the vital signs, VO2 max, respiratory frequency and cardiac variability, as well as to assess the running performance of the participants.
Participants will be assigned to one of 2 study groups: IMT group (n=20) or not-IMT group (n=20) The IMT group will perform inspiratory muscle training in conjunction with the conventional marathon training plan. The not-IMT group will follow only the conventional marathon training plan. The study will be conducted over a 12 week period.
