Ventilatory muscle strength and endurance training

D E Leith, M Bradley

    Journal of Applied Physiology
    |October 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Specific training programs can enhance ventilatory muscle strength and endurance. Strength training increased maximum pressures, while endurance training improved sustained hyperpnea capacity in healthy volunteers.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Exercise Science

    Background:

    • Respiratory muscle function is crucial for breathing.
    • The potential for targeted training of ventilatory muscles is an area of interest.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of specific training programs on ventilatory muscle strength and endurance.
    • To determine if strength or endurance training yields greater improvements in respiratory mechanics.

    Main Methods:

    • Two groups of young volunteers underwent 5-week training programs: strength training (inspiratory/expiratory maneuvers against resistance) and endurance training (sustained hyperpnea).
    • A control group received no training.
    • Measurements included maximum inspiratory/expiratory pressures, vital capacity, total lung capacity, and sustained hyperpnea capacity.

    Main Results:

    • Strength trainers showed a ~55% increase in maximum pressures, with minor changes in lung volumes.
    • Endurance trainers increased sustained hyperpnea capacity from 81% to 96% of maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) and improved MVV by 14%.
    • No other significant changes were observed in any group.

    Conclusions:

    • Ventilatory muscle strength and endurance can be specifically improved through tailored training regimens.
    • Strength training enhances respiratory muscle pressure generation.
    • Endurance training improves the capacity for sustained ventilation.
