About this trial
This prospective observational study aims to investigate the relationship between respiratory function and multidimensional athletic performance parameters in professional soccer players. The primary hypothesis of the study is that soccer players with enhanced respiratory function and superior respiratory muscle strength will exhibit optimized motor performance outcomes and shorter (faster) reactive reaction times. Investigators will evaluate respiratory muscle strength, spirometric pulmonary functions, dynamic balance, core and abdominal endurance, and reactive visuomotor reaction times during a single testing session within the competitive season.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Participants will be actively competing, licensed professional soccer players. -Participants will be engaged in regular, team-based training and competitive match schedules.
Participants will voluntarily provide written informed consent before any study-related physical performance assessments are conducted.
Disqualifiers
Participants will be excluded if they present with an acute upper or lower respiratory tract infection that could potentially affect pulmonary function or maximal respiratory muscle performance.
Participants will be excluded if they have a documented history of major cardiothoracic surgery.
Participants will be excluded if they have any diagnosed respiratory and/or cardiovascular disorder associated with dyspnea or impaired pulmonary mechanics.
Participants will be excluded if they present with any condition that elevates clinical risk during maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure assessments.
