Combined inspiratory muscle and lower limb resistance training enhances cardiopulmonary function in military personnel
While IMT is effective for improving respiratory efficiency, its combination with lower limb resistance training yields synergistic effects, leading to superior improvements in VO<sub>2</sub>max and inspiratory muscle strength. This combined modality offers a scientifically grounded strategy to optimize the physical readiness and combat capability of military personnel.
