Power-Breathe® (PwB) is a sectorized respiratory muscle training tool that uses aresistive load to train IMT. There is currently a growing interest in respiratory muscle training,so we set out to systematically assess the effects of IMT with PwB on respiratory parameters andathletic performance in physically active, healthy adults. Based on the Preferred Reporting Itemsfor Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline, the Cochrane and PEDro scales toassess methodological quality, effect size using the Rosenthal formula, and the Cochrane tool forestimation of risk of bias, studies searchable in Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane. In addition,for the performance of the meta-analysis, the documentation and quantification of the heterogeneityin each meta-analysis were directed through the Cochran’s Q test and the I2 statistic; in addition, apublication bias analysis was performed using funnel plots. Of the total of 241 studies identifiedin the search, 11 studies for the systematic review and nine for the meta-analysis met the exclusionand/or inclusion criteria. IMT, with PwB, showed significant improvements in maximal inspiratorypressure (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, theuse of PwB is an IMT tool that improves respiratory and sports performance.
