Key result
Four weeks of isolated respiratory training increases respiratory muscle and bicycle endurance in healthy subjects.
Why the study?
New evidence suggests respiratory muscles may limit exercise performance in healthy humans, but the effects of isolated respiratory training on endurance are unclear.
Does 4 weeks of isolated respiratory training improve exercise endurance in healthy humans?
Does 4 weeks of isolated respiratory training improve exercise endurance in healthy humans?
Isolated respiratory training improves exercise endurance and reduces blood lactate and breathlessness in healthy humans, without altering maximal oxygen consumption.
May enhance endurance in healthy adults; leaves open translation to patients or athletes.

Urs Boutellier (1998) studied Healthy humans. Isolated respiratory training was evaluated on Endurance time of respiratory muscles and constant-load bicycle tests. Four weeks of isolated respiratory training significantly increased respiratory muscle and constant-load bicycle endurance time in healthy sedentary and physically active subjects.
