Does Breathing Frequency Influence Inspiratory Muscle Fatigue?
The respiratory system is not typically associated as the limiting factor in maximal exercise, and the influence of inspiratory (breathing inward) muscle fatigue during maximal exercise is unclear. Studies suggest long and short duration high intensity exercise causes inspiratory muscle fatigue leading to impaired performance. Breathing during swimming is especially important since breathing frequency is less compared to land sports.

Do Ice Baths Work?
Do Ice Baths Work?
Ice baths and cold water baths (cyrotherapy) are commonly seen in sports medicine. From experience, ice baths are cold…obviously, but after a few minutes you are able to relax. At the Beijing Olympics ice baths were frequently used with swimmers, but do ice baths really work and how do they work? Ice baths are proposed to help the athlete recover faster, reduce pain/soreness, and prevent injuries, but what does the literature indicate.

Abstract
Asthma is a common condition in aquatic sports. The incidence of asthma in swimmers and synchronized swimmers during the Beijing Olympic Games was 20%. Knowledge of the causes and triggers for asthma can help to decrease the incidence of asthma complications. The correct diagnosis of asthma is essential to ensure optimal care.
