From: Inspiratory muscles pre-activation in young swimmers submitted to a tethered swimming test: effects on mechanical, physiological, and skin temperature parameters

Figure 1

Experimental design used in the study (timeline configuration for the exercise and inspiratory muscle pre-activation (IMPA) session). Randomly, each subject underwent two experimental sessions, one in the control condition and the other with IMPA. Temporal representation of the interventions performed before, during and after the tethered swimming exercise during which the force recordings occurred. Thermographic records (skin temperature - ST), blood lactate samples and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and dyspnea (RPD) were obtained during all the assessment sessions in the time windows shown.
