Implication

Cross-sectional study finds higher respiratory muscle strength and pulmonary capacity correlate with better marksmanship in police cadets, suggesting breathing fitness supports shooting accuracy.

Key Points

To investigate the association between pistol marksmanship, respiratory muscle strength, and pulmonary capacities across performance levels in police cadets.
Recruited 167 police cadets to undergo assessments in a controlled environment.
Measured respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory pressure [MIP], maximal expiratory pressure [MEP]), pulmonary function parameters (FEV1, FVC, SVC, MVV), and pistol shooting scores.
Pistol shooting scores correlated positively with MEP (ρ = 0.45) and MIP (ρ = 0.33), along with FEV1 (ρ = 0.26, p < 0.001), SVC (ρ = 0.26, p < 0.001), FVC (ρ = 0.25, p < 0.001), and MVV (ρ = 0.21, p < 0.05).
Statistically significant differences across shooting performance tiers were observed for all measured respiratory parameters, including MIP, MEP, FVC, FEV1, SVC, and MVV (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05).
