Inspiratory muscle training in the healthy adult: The relationship between load, perception, and oxygen consumption

IMT causes a load-dependent increase in VO<sub>2</sub>, with marked increases in breathing difficulty and unpleasantness at higher loads. The additional impact of the absolute magnitude of load provides insight into the perception of respiratory effort. These data help understand the factors that influence IMT prescription, in terms of exercise response and acceptability.

Abstract

IMT causes a load-dependent increase in VO<sub>2</sub>, with marked increases in breathing difficulty and unpleasantness at higher loads. The additional impact of the absolute magnitude of load provides insight into the perception of respiratory effort. These data help understand the factors that influence IMT prescription, in terms of exercise response and acceptability.
