Summary

This project aims to assess the effectiveness of using a Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) device during high-intensity functional training (HIFT) to improve fitness and ventilatory parameters. Primary outcome measures include aerobic, anaerobic, and HIFT measures. Secondary measures include sleep, affect, and mood state questionnaires. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups: with the RMT device and without the RMT device.

Detailed description

This study assesses the impact of a ventilatory training device, similar to a sports mouth guard worn during exercise, on various performance outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the device improve fitness parameters: high-intensity functional training, anaerobic capacity, anaerobic peak and mean power output, maximal oxygen uptake, ventilatory threshold, and blood lactate responses to training? * Does the device improve spirometry measures? Researchers will compare 6 weeks of training with the ventilatory training device to those without the training device. Participants will: * Take part in a total of 8 weeks of study-related activity. * Complete six total one- to two-hour pre- and post-testing sessions, which include a maximal oxygen uptake test, high-intensity functional training, body composition, spirometry, anaerobic power and capacity testing. * Complete six weeks of 45-minute high-intensity functional training, three days per week.

Conditions
