Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Warm-Up on Shooting Performance in Elite Air-Rifle Shooters

Inspiratory Muscle Warm-Up (IWU) The POWERbreathe® device (IMT Technologies Ltd., Birmingham, UK) was used for the inspiratory muscle warm-up (IWU). For the IWU protocol, the resistance of the POWERbreathe® device was set to 40% of the participant's maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). While standing, participants were instructed to perform two sets of 30 breaths (inspiratory and expiratory), with a 60-second rest interval between sets (Yılmaz et al., 2025).
