Abstract:

Abstract General body warm-up is important for high performance in demonstrating motoric characteristics. Recently, respiratory muscle warm-up, which contributes to sports performance such as general body warm-up, has been a subject of interest to sports scientists. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of different respiratory muscle warm-up on respiratory parameters. Thirty volunteer girls aged 12-14 participated in the study. Three different respiratory muscle warm-ups, including placebo divided respiratory muscle warm-up, pursed-lip respiratory muscle exercise, and divided respiratory muscle warm-up, were performed on the participants on different days, and respiratory parameters were determined with a spirometer. The difference between the applications was determined by the One-Way ANOVA test, and the group that caused the difference was determined by the Tukey test. It was determined that the highest values ​​in all respiratory parameters were in divided respiratory muscle warm-up, pursed lip respiratory muscle exercise, and placebo divided respiratory muscle warm-up. It was observed that the different respiratory muscle warm-ups applied increased the respiratory parameters, and the highest value was in the divided respiratory muscle warm-up (FVC=3,99±,56 FEV1= 3,76±,55 PEF= 6,54±,43 FEV1/FVC= 93,58±2,11). As a result, it is recommended to warm up the respiratory muscles in order to increase the performance of the athlete before the training or competitions. If the conditions are suitable, it is recommended to warm up the respiratory muscles with respiratory exercise equipment whose maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) values ​​can be adjusted.
