  "description": "<p><strong>PURPOSE</strong>: To examine whether six weeks combined inspiratory and expiratory respiratory muscle<br>\ntraining (RMT) improves peak exercise capacity and respiratory mechanics during sub-maximal exercise<br>\nin wheelchair rugby athletes with tetraplegia.<br>\n<strong>METHODS</strong>: Six athletes (5M/1F, 33&plusmn;5 years) were assessed for maximal, sub-maximal and field-based<br>\nexercise performance pre and post six-week pressure-threshold RMT, and again following six-weeks of<br>\nno RMT. During each testing session, athletes first completed a ramped arm-ergometer exercise test to<br>\nexhaustion for the determination of peak work rate and peak oxygen uptake. Following a 30 minute break,<br>\nathletes completed a sub-maximal arm-ergometer test at 20, 40, 60, and 80% of peak work rate. Inspiratory<br>\ncapacity maneuvers were performed in the final minute of each stage to determine end-expiratory lung<br>\nvolume (EELV) and calculate end-inspiratory lung volume (EILV). Breath-by-breath cardiopulmonary<br>\nindices were recorded throughout both exercise tests. On a separate day, athletes were assessed for time<br>\nto complete a field-based 20x20 metre repeated sprint test.<br>\n<strong>RESULTS</strong>: Following RMT, there were increases in peak work rate (69&plusmn;22 post vs. 60&plusmn;20 W pre, p=0.03),<br>\noxygen uptake (20.3&plusmn;5.9 vs. 17.6&plusmn;5.0 mL/kg/min, p=0.04), and minute ventilation (54&plusmn;18 vs. 46&plusmn;12 L/min,<br>\np=0.03). Dynamic hyperinflation was present during all tests as evidenced by an increase in EELV with<br>\nincreasing exercise intensity; however, during post-RMT testing both EELV and EILV were significantly<br>\nlower than pre-RMT throughout exercise (p&lt;0.05). At follow-up, no indices were different from post-RMT.<br>\nField-based repeat sprint performance was unchanged by RMT.<br>\n<strong>DISCUSSION</strong>: RMT enhances exercise capacity in athletes with tetraplegia. Whether this is due to an<br>\nincreased peak ventilation or the circulatory benefits of an enhanced respiratory muscle pump, lower<br>\noperating lung volumes, and/or an attenuation of the respiratory muscle metaboreflex remains to be<br>\ndetermined.</p>",
