|
| Respiratory muscle training helps to increase respiratory muscle strength and endurance in athletes. Kinesio tape can be used to improve muscular performance. Aim of the study: Was to investigate the concurrent effect of inspiratory muscles training and kinesio taping on inspiratory muscles pressure in athletes. Subjects and Methods: Sixty male soccer players their ages ranged from 20 to 30 years old. They were recruited from Talae El Geish sporting club, Egypt. The Subjects were randomly assigned into 2 equal groups. They were evaluated by maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and cooper test. Group A included 30 subjects received inspiratory muscles training by powerlung device in addition to kinesio tape to the inspiratory muscles (diaphragm). Group B included 30 subjects received inspiratory muscles training by powerlung device only. Results: There was significant increase in all values in both groups showed by improvement in MIP by 18.22 %, Cooper test distance by 14.64 % and VO2 max by 19.64 % in group (A). There was an improvement in MIP by 11.42 %, in Cooper test distance by 10.04 % and VO2 max by 12.1 % in group (B). Conclusion: The results of this study support the importance of concurrent application of inspiratory muscles training and kinesio taping to improve inspiratory muscles pressure in athletes.
