Abstract

In an era characterized by rapid economic growth and evolving lifestyles, college students encounter numerous challenges, encompassing academic pressures and professional competition. The respiratory muscle endurance capability is important for college students during prolonged aerobic exercise. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore an effective intervention to enhance the endurance level of college students. This study explores the transformative potential of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) to improve the physical functions of college students. This research comprised a group of 20 participants who underwent IMT integrated into their daily physical education classes or regular training sessions over an 8-week period, with 18 participants forming the control group. The IMT group adhered to the manufacturer's instructions for utilizing the PowerBreathe device. The findings indicated a significant positive effect on inspiratory muscle strength (p < 0.001), showing improvements in pulmonary function, exercise tolerance, cardiac function, and overall athletic performance. These results revealed the substantial benefits of IMT in enhancing physical fitness and promoting health maintenance among college students.

吸气肌训练对大学生健康相关体能的影响

在经济快速发展和生活方式不断变化的时代，大学生面临着学业压力和职业竞争等诸多挑战。在长时间的有氧运动中，呼吸肌耐力对大学生来说非常重要。因此，探索一种有效的干预措施来提高大学生的耐力水平具有重要意义。本研究探讨了吸气肌训练（IMT）在改善大学生身体机能方面的变革潜力。本研究由 20 名参与者组成，他们在为期 8 周的时间里接受了融入日常体育课或常规训练课的吸气肌训练，另有 18 名参与者组成对照组。IMT 组按照制造商的说明使用 PowerBreathe 设备。研究结果表明，IMT 对吸气肌肉力量有明显的积极影响（p < 0.001），并显示出对肺部功能、运动耐受力、心脏功能和整体运动表现的改善。这些结果表明，IMT 在增强大学生体能和促进健康维护方面有很大的益处。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) (ISSN 1660-4601) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes, and short communications in the interdisciplinary area of environmental health sciences and public health. It links several scientific disciplines including biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, computer science, ecology, engineering, epidemiology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, oncology, pathology, pharmacology, and toxicology, in an integrated fashion, to address critical issues related to environmental quality and public health. Therefore, IJERPH focuses on the publication of scientific and technical information on the impacts of natural phenomena and anthropogenic factors on the quality of our environment, the interrelationships between environmental health and the quality of life, as well as the socio-cultural, political, economic, and legal considerations related to environmental stewardship and public health. The 2018 IJERPH Outstanding Reviewer Award has been launched! This award acknowledge those who have generously dedicated their time to review manuscripts submitted to IJERPH.
