Brief Summary: The main objective of the study is to study the changes in FEV1 with the introduction of the specific inspiratory muscle training programme in the training programme of the popular athletes included In addition the secondary aims are to observe the differences in the respiratory capacities of the patients in the vital signs VO2 max respiratory frequency and cardiac variability as well as to assess the running performance of the participants
Participants will be assigned to one of 2 study groups IMT group n20 or not-IMT group n20 The IMT group will perform inspiratory muscle training in conjunction with the conventional marathon training plan The not-IMT group will follow only the conventional marathon training plan The study will be conducted over a 12 week period
