<dc:description>Sports performance in athletes can be limited by respiratory factors, so it is understandable&#xd;
to propose that inspiratory muscle training (IMT) can improve respiratory function and exercise&#xd;
performance. Power-Breathe® (PwB) is a sectorized respiratory muscle training tool that uses a&#xd;
resistive load to train IMT. There is currently a growing interest in respiratory muscle training,&#xd;
so we set out to systematically assess the effects of IMT with PwB on respiratory parameters and&#xd;
athletic performance in physically active, healthy adults. Based on the Preferred Reporting Items&#xd;
for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline, the Cochrane and PEDro scales to&#xd;
assess methodological quality, effect size using the Rosenthal formula, and the Cochrane tool for&#xd;
estimation of risk of bias, studies searchable in Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane. In addition,&#xd;
for the performance of the meta-analysis, the documentation and quantification of the heterogeneity&#xd;
in each meta-analysis were directed through the Cochran’s Q test and the I2 statistic; in addition, a&#xd;
publication bias analysis was performed using funnel plots. Of the total of 241 studies identified&#xd;
in the search, 11 studies for the systematic review and nine for the meta-analysis met the exclusion&#xd;
and/or inclusion criteria. IMT, with PwB, showed significant improvements in maximal inspiratory&#xd;
pressure (MIP) and substantial improvements in forced vital capacity (FVC) in the meta-analysis results. Also, sports performance was significantly increased by IMT with PwB. In conclusion, the&#xd;
use of PwB is an IMT tool that improves respiratory and sports performance.</dc:description>
