Introduction: Exposure to moderate or high altitudes promotes physiological changes in all systems of the human body, mainly cardiovascular and respiratory. The elevation training mask (ETM) was developed with the function of simulating respiratory conditions at moderate and high altitudes. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of ETM on respiratory muscle strength and lung expansion in athletics practitioners. Methods: This is a prospective and longitudinal study. The sample was non-probabilistic, composed of athletics practitioners. The individuals were divided into an Intervention Group (IG) that used ETM (LiveUP Sports) and a Control Group (CG) that did not use it. Study outcomes were maximal inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure, lung expansion by axillary, xiphoid, and abdominal cirtometry. Results: The peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) decresased in the pre- and post-intervention of both groups. The CG showed higher values in the variables xiphoid cirtometry, abdominal cirtometry, MIP and MEP. Different GI results, significant only in xiphoid and abdominal cirtometries. Conclusion: The high training mask does not improve the thoracoabdominal expansion and the strength of the ventilatory muscles of athletics practitioners.
