Abstract
The results of this study confirm that the Elevation Training Mask 2.0 (ETM) increases the physiological characteristics and functional reserve capacity of the respiratory muscles. This is manifested in an increase in the maximal strength of muscle contraction, significantly greater maximal voluntary ventilation, an increase in the endurance and resistance of inspiratory and expiratory muscles to the development of fatigue when performing heavy exercise. An adequate indicator of the functional status of inspiratory muscles for the assessment of their functional potential is the tension–time index, ТТ0.1.
