Twenty athletes were randomly assigned to either an IMT group or a control group. Outcome measures included jumping performance, reaction time, flexibility, and shooting accuracy assessed via the SCATT system. The findings demonstrated that IMT significantly improved lower-limb explosive power and shooting performance without affecting reaction time or flexibility.', 'detailedDescription': 'Air pistol shooting is a precision sport requiring postural stability, neuromuscular coordination, and controlled breathing. Inspiratory muscle training has been shown to enhance respiratory muscle strength, trunk stability, and neuromuscular efficiency. However, evidence regarding its effects in precision sports is limited.\n\nThis study employed a four-week parallel-group randomized controlled design to examine whether IMT improves jumping performance, reaction time, and shooting accuracy in elite air pistol athletes. The IMT group performed twice-daily resisted breathing sessions using a POWERbreathe® device, while the control group continued standard training. Performance outcomes were assessed before and after the intervention period.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'MALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '35 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'genderBased': True, 'genderDescription': 'Male athletes aged 18-35 years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Male athletes aged 18-35 years\n* Minimum of 3 years of systematic air pistol shooting experience\n* Regular training for at least the previous 6 months\n* Medically cleared for physical activity\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* History of respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, or musculoskeletal disorders\n* Current injury affecting performance\n* Participation in respiratory muscle training within the last 6 months'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT07406451', 'briefTitle': 'Inspiratory Muscle Training Enhances Jumping Power and Shoot-ing Performance in Elite Air Pistol Athletes', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Gümüşhane Universıty'}, 'officialTitle': 'Inspiratory Muscle Training Enhances Jumping Power and Shoot-ing Performance in Elite Air Pistol Athletes', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '2025-019'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) Group', 'description': 'Participants performed inspiratory muscle training using a POWERbreathe® Classic device.
