Research from the University of Zurich found that intensive respiratory training does, in fact, significantly improve the endurance of respiratory muscles and increases the volume of ventilation possible. In this study, respiratory (forced increases in respiratory movements) consisted of four weeks of 30 minute sessions, five days per week. Both sedentary and physically active subjects increased the endurance of respiratory muscles, increased endurance time of constant load bicycle test, felt less breathless after exercise, and had lower lactate levels after exercise. |
