RESUMO
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses support the benefits of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) for sports and clinical populations. A typical application of "standalone" IMT intervention consists of breathing against an inspiratory load (IRL), twice daily, for five to seven days per week, for four to twelve weeks. However, the application of IRL during aerobic exercise is often seen in a training routine of sports and rehabilitation centres with noevidencebased guide. In this Current Opinion, we will revisit putative mechanisms underlying the established benefits of "standalone" IMT to support our contention that IMT need not and should not be used during aerobic exercise.
