The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training at high altitude on peripheral capillary oxygen saturation and performance among endurance runners. Twelve endurance male runners (age: 24 yrs ± 3 yrs, height: 180.5 cm ± 4.2 cm, weight: 66.7 kg ± 3 kg, Body mass index: 20.5 ± 1.0) among Iranian national team were randomly divided into case and control group in hypoxic condition. Exhaustive testing free 1500 m, strength Index and arterial oxygen saturation tests were taken before and 24 h after training period. Training program include same continues, interval, aerobic and resistance training for two groups. Runners performed 16 training session per week in high altitude within four weeks. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance (P ≤ 0.05). Inspiratory muscle training at hypoxia due to .. Read More»
