EFFECTS OF LOWER CHEST INSPIRATORY MUSCLE TRAINING ON CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM AND CHEST EXPANSION IN WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL PLAYERS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this study was to study the effects of lower chest inspiratory muscle training for 4 weeks on cardiovascular system and chest expansion in wheelchair basketball players. A total of 18 male wheelchair basketball players who were divided into 2 groups by purposive sampling and used cluster random sampling with maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and age. There’re 3 subjects that drop out while training. Therefore, there’re 15 subjects in this study. The training group (N=7) underwent a protocol consisting of 50% MIP and the control group (N=8) was in 0% MIP. Both groups carried out through a resistive breathing device (TU-Breath Training) in 3 sets of training day (rest period 1-2 minutes between set), 5 times a week for 4 weeks. Each participant was analyzed resting heart rate and blood pressure (systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure) by blood pressure portable device. They were measured chest expansion by tape measure for measure differences between circumference of chest expansion (Maximal inspiration and Maximal expiration). The dependent variables between pre-test and post-test were analyzed by a paired t-test and Wilcoxon sign rank test. The result showed the significant differences of 3 levels of chest (Axilla, Xiphoid process, and 10th rib) between pre-test and post-test in training group. However, the control group didn’t show significant differences between pre-test and post-test.
