Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) has been studied for decades by sports scientists.
Research shows that strengthening the breathing muscles improves endurance, reduces breathlessness,
and increases performance in runners, cyclists, swimmers, and everyday athletes.
✔ IMT improves running performance and reduces breathlessness
A 2023 randomized controlled study found that IMT significantly improved 1-mile running time and reduced perceived breathlessness
after only 4 weeks of training.

✔ 20–30% increase in respiratory muscle strength
Researchers found that IMT increased respiratory muscle strength by up to 30% in healthy adults,
improving oxygen efficiency and breathing power.
