Experimental design. Participants performed the incremental cycling tests under normoxia and hypoxia (15%O2), maximal respiratory muscle strength test, and pulmonary function test within 1 week in the pre- and post-training period. Participants (n = 16) were randomly divided into the inspiratory muscle-loaded exercise training (IMLET, n = 8) and exercise training (ET, n = 8) groups. Exercise training on a cycle ergometer at 60% of VO2peak with 50% of PImax inspiratory muscle-loaded during exercise (IMLET) or at 60% of VO2peak (ET) for 20 min/day, 3 days/week, for 4 weeks
