Table 2 Cardiorespiratory measurements and peak post-exercise blood lactate concentrations (La) during intermittent sprint cycling exercise tests following inspiratory muscle warm-up at 15 % (PLA) or 40 % (IMW) of maximal inspiratory pressure

From: Inspiratory muscle warm-up has no impact on performance or locomotor muscle oxygenation during high-intensity intermittent sprint cycling exercise
