Article Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Diaphragm Function and Activity Performance in Subacute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Single-Blind Randomized-Controlled Trial(SAGE Publications Inc., 2026) Akçay S.; Akyol D.K.; Erkut Ü.; Karagözoğlu Coşkunsu D.; Kunduracilar Z.; Bajrami A.; Dinç Yavaş A.; Kunduracilar, Zuhal; Coskunsu, Dilber Karagozoglu; Bajrami, Arsida; Akçay, Sümeyye; Akyol, Dudu Kübra; Erkut, Ümit; Karagözoğlu Coşkunsu, Dilber; Yavas, Arzu Dinc; Dinç Yavaş, ArzuBackground: Respiratory dysfunction is common after stroke and may negatively affect functional recovery. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been proposed to enhance diaphragmatic function and activity performance in this population. Objective: To investigate the effects of IMT on diaphragm function and activity performance in patients with subacute ischemic stroke. Methods: In this randomized controlled, single-blind trial, 26 patients with subacute ischemic stroke (>1 month post-onset) were randomly allocated to an intervention group (IG, n = 13) or control group (CG, n = 13). Both groups received standard neurorehabilitation, aerobic training, and the Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT). The IG additionally underwent IMT, 5 days per week for 6 weeks (30 sessions). Assessments included maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP, MEP), diaphragmatic thickness (Ti, Te) and excursion via ultrasonography, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Results: Twenty-two participants completed the study (IG = 11; CG = 11). Significant within-group improvements were observed in both groups for MIP, MEP, Ti, TF, excursion, 6MWT, and COPM scores (P < .05). Between-group analyses showed significantly greater improvements in the IG for ΔMIP (P < .001), ΔMEP (P = .003), affected-side ΔTi (P = .007), ΔTF (P = .008), and Δexcursion (P = .005). No significant differences were found for 6MWT and COPM (P > .05). Conclusions: IMT effectively improves respiratory muscle strength, diaphragmatic thickness, and excursion in subacute ischemic stroke and may be a valuable addition to post-stroke rehabilitation programs.

The study involved a total of 21 young males playing with amateur soccer licenses for at least 2 years divided into three groups. One group received S + HIIT training, second group received S + HIFT training and the control group continued their soccer-specific training. Both the experimental and the control groups underwent pre- and post-tests and while only the experimental groups underwent an eight-week training program. Pre- and post-tests of the all the participants included measurements of body composition, adaptation studies, trial measurements, biochemical blood, aerobic endurance measurements, sprint tests, and strength measurements. The Mixed Design ANOVA analysis was utilized to examine the performance, physiological, and biochemical data of the participants before and after the experiment. Concurrent training models were effective in increasing athletic performance (VO2max, CMJ, 1RM bench press and Yo-Yo test) and physiological outcomes during recovery (HR, blood lactate, Borg Scale) compared to the control group with traditional training. There was no significant difference between the biochemical changes in the S + HIIT, S + HIFT and control groups during the trial period. In summary, both concurrent training (CT) models had positive effects on sports performance and physiological outcomes, but not on biochemical outcomes. © The Author(s) 2024.
