Pardy RL, Rivington RN, Despas PJ, Macklem PT. 'Using a simple, inexpensive, at-home program, 12 patients with moderate-to-severe chronic air flow limitation trained their inspiratory muscles. All showed increased inspiratory muscle endurance.....' http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7224355 - Inspiratory muscle training in chronic airflow limitation: effect on exercise performance.

Donna M. Mancini, MD; David Henson, MD; John La Manca, PhD; Lisa Donchez, RN; Sanford Levine, MD 'The purpose of this study was to investigate whether selective respiratory muscle training could alleviate dyspnea and improve exercise performance in patients with chronic congestive heart failure' http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/91/2/320 - Effects of respiratory muscle work on cardiac output and its distribution during maximal exercise
Craig A. Harms, Thomas J. Wetter, Steven R. McClaran, David F. Pegelow, Glenn A. Nickele, William B. Nelson, Peter Hanson, and Jerome A. Dempsey 'We combined these findings with our recent study to show that the respiratory muscle work normally expended during maximal exercise has two significant effects on the cardiovascular system: 1) up to 14-16% of the CO is directed to the respiratory muscles; and 2) local reflex vasoconstriction significantly compromises blood flow to leg locomotor muscles' http://jap.physiology.org/cgi/content/abstract/85/2/609 - Specific respiratory warm-up improves rowing performance and exertional dyspnea.
VOLIANITIS, S., A. K. MCCONNELL, Y. KOUTEDAKIS, and D. A. JONES. 'Conclusion: These data suggest that a combination of a respiratory warm-up protocol together with a specific rowing warm-up is more effective than a specific rowing warm-up or a submaximal warm-up alone as a preparation for rowing performance'. http://www.acsm-msse.org - Effect of specific inspiratory muscle warm-up on intense intermittent run to exhaustion
Tom K. Tong, and Frank H. Fu 'Such findings suggested that the specific IM warm-up in IMW may entail reduction in breathlessness sensation, partly attributable to the enhancement of dynamic IM functions, in subsequent exhaustive intermittent run and, in turn, improve the exercise tolerance'. http://www.springerlink.com/content/9031370152040277/ Read testimonials from our thousands of customers here |
