Inspiratory and Expiratory Muscle Training in Adolescent Volleyball Players

Effects of Inspiratory and Expiratory Muscle Strength Training on Respiratory Functions and Performance in Adolescent Volleyball Players

This study will investigate the effects of inspiratory and expiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and performance status in adolescent athletes

In the literature, it has been shown in a limited number of studies that respiratory muscle training in sports such as football, cycling, swimming, and rugby reduces athletes' perceived exertion levels. However, the effects of inspiratory and expiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and performance status in adolescent athletes are still unclear. Therefore, this study has been planned.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Athletes aged 12-18 who train at a submaximal level at least 3 days a week

Exclusion Criteria:

• Adolescents with any history of chronic lung disease
• unable to comply with the test and training
• unwilling to participate in the study
