Police training confinement improves respiratory muscle power & hemoglobin level reported a recent study published in International Journal of Pulmonary and Respiratory Sciences. It is evident that adequate aerobic capacity and muscle strength are vital elements to perform the activities of professional soldiers and officers to enhance their performance and maintain physically demanding tasks. However, there is less evidence for police training confinement and its association with respiratory muscle power and hemoglobin level.

A cross-sectional study reported that the mean values of Maximal respiratory pressure (MEP & MIP) were significantly higher after the end of the confinement period [(MIP 106.9+28.17 cmH2O (P=0.005) and MEP 137.51+31.68 cmH2O (P=0.000) when compared with control MIP 88.13+30.96 cmH2o and MEP 103.57+ 29.9 cmH2O.P>0.05)]. Furthermore, there was a significant change…
