ALVAREZ, Cristian et al. Effects of the training of the inspiratory respiratory musculature of anaerobic power, in rugby. Rev Podium [online]. 2025, vol.20, n.1  Epub 01-Abr-2025. ISSN 1996-2452.

Respiratory muscle training has emerged as a relevant field of study in the ambit of health and sports performance. The aim of this study was to describe a methodology for training the inspiratory muscles to improve anaerobic capacity in rugby players. The research was a quantitative, quasi-experimental, longitudinal study, where results were compared between an experimental and control group in a total of twenty-two amateur rugby players. Maximum inspiratory pressure and anaerobic power (Shuttle Test) were evaluated before the start of training. For training of the inspiratory muscles, the Powerbreathe ® device was used, with a protocol of 60 inspirations at 50% of the maximum inspiratory pressure once a day, three times a week, for six weeks. The results obtained showed a significant increase in maximum inspiratory pressure in the experimental group and performance in the Shuttle test Run showed an improvement, both with a statistically significant difference. These findings suggested that the program had a positive impact on both indicators and revealed the importance of interventions focused on improving respiratory capacity and physical performance.
