• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The aim of this study is to assess if an intervention of manual therapy and motor control exercises combined with an inspiratory muscle training program is more effective than an inspiratory muscle training program alone in increasing the maximum inspiratory pressure in moderate smokers. In addition, the study pretends to evaluate the changes caused by the intervention regarding possible postural changes and thoracic diameter.

Conditions

• Manual Therapies
• Respiratory Muscle Training
