Overview

Analysis shows limited links between inspiratory performance and physical traits in collegiate athletes, implying a need for further research.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore the relationship between inspiratory muscle performance and various physical characteristics in Division I football players.
  • Eighty-five Division I collegiate football players participated in the study.
  • Participants underwent the Test of Incremental Respiratory Endurance to measure inspiratory performance metrics.
  • Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to evaluate associations with physical characteristics.
  • Inspiratory performance exhibited limited correlations with anthropometric factors.
  • A weak correlation was noted between height and inspiratory duration.
  • No significant differences were revealed based on year in school or playing position.
