Abstract
Respiratory muscle training (RMT), as a novel training method for improving athletic performance, has received extensive attention in sports science. This paper systematically reviews the structural and functional characteristics of respiratory muscles, the mechanisms of exercise-induced respiratory muscle fatigue and its restrictive effects on athletic performance, summarizes the main training types and parameter optimization schemes of RMT, and reviews its application status in endurance events, skill and balance events, as well as ball and combat sports. The physiological mechanisms by which RMT improves athletic performance are elaborated from four aspects: muscle fiber structural adaptation, enhanced pulmonary ventilation, attenuated respiratory metaboreflex, and optimized core stability and kinetic chain transmission. Existing meta-analysis evidence indicates that RMT can significantly improve athletes' maximal inspiratory pressure (large effect size), forced vital capacity, maximal voluntary ventilation, and time-trial performance, with inspiratory pressure threshold loading training lasting 8-12 weeks at a frequency of 5-7 days per week yielding the optimal effects. Finally, this paper points out the limitations of current research and prospects future research directions, aiming to provide theoretical references for the scientific application of RMT in sports training practice.
