Background. Considering that breathing strategies are important for athletic performance, there isn't enough scientific data available to fully understand how they operate just yet.
Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of conscious diaphragm muscle-based respiratory muscle exercise on respiratory muscle strength and function.
Methods. For that, four groups (IMT-DF (inspiratory muscle training using diaphragm), IMT (inspiratory muscle training), IMT-SHAM (training without intensity) and control) were formed in which 24 healthy sedentary participants were randomly divided. Inspiratory muscle training was organized as three days a week for 4 weeks and measurements of respiratory muscle strength (measured with a pressure gauge) and function (measured with a spirometer) were obtained one day before and one day after the 4-week period. The data obtained were normally distributed and one-way ANOVA analysis of variance and Paired sample t-test were applied for statistical analysis. In respiratory muscle strength parameters maximal inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure (MIP-MEP), significant differences were found in favor of IMT-DF and IMT groups.
Results. Significance was found in favor of IMT-DF in the analysis of the difference between means and percentage change in the comparison of pre-post test data between groups. In the pulmonary function tests, a significant difference was found between the IMT-DF group and the IMT group in favor of the IMT-DF group in the forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) parameter; a significant difference was found between the IMT-SHAM group and the IMT-DF group in favor of the IMT-SHAM group and no significant difference was detected in respiratory functions (p>0.05).
Conclusion. As a result, performed respiratory muscle training specific to the diaphragm muscle may provide more positive improvements in respiratory muscle strength and function compared to normal training.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- Although breathing plays a crucial part in sportive performance, there is currently not enough scientific information to paint a complete and accurate picture of how it works.
- The study's findings imply that diaphragm-specific respiratory muscle exercise affects healthy individual's ability to use their respiratory muscles and their strength.
- These findings are important in terms of supporting the development and popularizing the use of new training methods that can contribute to sports performance by integrating the diaphragm-focused technique into respiratory muscle training.
