Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training with Royal Jelly Supplement on Iron Metabolism in Cigarette Addicts

Özet

Objective: The strength or weakness of the respiratorymuscles comparedwith other skeletal muscles owingto their more specialized structures is considered as an indicatororcause of a disease. This study aimed toinvestigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training with royal jelly (RJ) supplement on ironmetabolism incigarette addicts.Materials and Methods: A total of 40 male volunteers participated in the study who were divided into 4groups before the study as follows: smoker control group (n=10), inspiratory muscle training (IMT) group(n=10), RJgroup (n=10), and RJ+IMT (n=10) group. Blood samples were taken from all the participants foranalysis of iron, ironbinding, and total iron binding capacity. Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximalexpiratory pressure (MEP) measurements for the groups to perform trainingwere carried out with 40% oftheir MIP values. The training sessions were carried out at thesame time every day for 4 weeks (5 days perweek).Results: The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22.0 program was used for statistical analyses.The results of the analysis found that the iron, ironbinding, and total ironbindingcapacities were in favor ofpost-tests in theRJ supplement IMT, and RJ+IMT groupscompared with those in the control group (p
