Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 6 weeks
respiratory muscle training on aerobic power (VO₂max) and
respiratory parameters in swimmers.

Material and Methods: A total of 20 male swimmers between 18 and 23 years of age were included in the
study as volunteers and randomly divided into two groups as control (n: 10) and
control (n: 10) groups. Respiratory muscle training was applied to the
experimental group 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Respiratory muscle training
device (POWER®breathe, UK) and maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) value of 30%
of the respiratory muscle training 30 times twice a day was built. Body mass index, VO₂max,
vital
capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and
forced expiratory rate (FEV1/FVC) were measured before
and after training. Respiratory parameters were measured by spirometry. VO₂max
measurements were measured by cardiopulmonary exercise test on bicycle
ergometer. Respiratory muscle strength was used to determine the respiratory
pressure gauge. The data were analyzed in SPSS 22.0 program. Independent
Samples T Test was used to assess the significance between the experimental and
control groups. Paired Samples T Test was applied for intra-group comparisons.

Results:As a result of the
statistical analysis, there was a significant difference in the respiratory
parameters of the experimental group (p<0.05). Aerobic power values
were not significant (p>0.05). In the comparison between groups, there was a
significant difference in the values of the respiratory parameters in favor of
the experimental group.

Conclusion: As a result, it can be said
that 6 weeks of respiratory muscle training affects the respiratory parameters
positively in swimmers. It is thought that regular respiratory muscle
training improves respiratory parameters.
