Pliometric activity of inspiratory muscles: maximal pressure-flow curves

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1987
We tested the hypothesis that inspiratory muscles, like other skeletal muscles, would exert greater force under pliometric conditions (being lengthened while active) than under isometric or miometric (active shortening) conditions. Maximal inspiratory pressure-flow curves of the respiratory system are analogous to the force-velocity curves for ...

Determinants of Maximal Inspiratory Pressure: The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1998
Abstract A variety of methods for subject selection and test procedures have been used for the determination of normal values and reference equations for maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). In the cross-sectional study described here, we made MIP measurements on 668 men and women in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA ...

Differences between sniff mouth pressures and static maximal inspiratory mouth pressures

European Respiratory Journal, 1993
Measurements of static maximal inspiratory mouth pressure (PImax) and dynamic sniff mouth pressure (Psniff) are frequently used to assess inspiratory muscle strength. The aim of the present study was to examine, in 42 healthy subjects, the equivalence of PImax and Psniff, the influence of body posture on PImax and Psniff, and the effects of nasal ...

Normal values for maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures of adolescents

European Respiratory Journal, 2013
Introduction: The literature offers few studies with normal values for maximal respiratory pressures (MRP) of adolescents. Objectives: To provide normal values and lower limits of normal (LLN) for maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP and MEP, respectively) of healthy adolescents.

Inspiratory pressure/maximal inspiratory pressure: does it predict successful extubation in critically ill infants and children?

Intensive Care Medicine, 1996
To evaluate the accuracy of the initial negative inspiratory pressure (PI) to maximal negative inspiratory pressure (PImax) ratio in predicting extubation outcome for intubated infants and children.A prospective study.Pediatric intensive care unit.A sample of 50 stable intubated pediatric patients who were judged clinically ready for extubation.Using a

Acute responses of breathing techniques in maximal inspiratory pressure

Sport Sciences for Health, 2017
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of three breathing techniques [normal breath (NB), breath holding (BH) and intermittent breath holding (IBH)] on finswimmers’ heart rate (HR), arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and maximum inspiratory pressure (PImax).

Comparison of maximal inspiratory pressure to resistive breathing for weaning prediction

Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology
The effect of MIP on extravascular lung water generation (EVLW) is not known. Our aim was to compare a resistive breathing trial (RBT) to MIP in terms of EVLW generation and in predicting the weaning outcome.In patients undergoing a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) for the first time we compared the EVLW generated, using lung ultrasound (B-lines ...

Maximal inspiratory pressure in elite soccer players.

The Journal of sports medicine and physical fitness, 1996
The respiratory muscle strength of elite athletes has been assessed only for some competitive sports and different conclusions have been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inspiratory muscle strength in a group of professional soccer players in comparison with a group of sedentary subjects.
