Summary
Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) can reverse or delay the complications from the deterioration of inspiratory muscle function in asthma. Thus, the IMT has been considered a treatment option for people with asthma. The aim of this study is to investigate the training principles of intensity, specificity and reversibility of IMT in asthmatics.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DEVICE | High-intensity IMT | 30 breaths at 50% of the maximal inspiratory pressure, twice daily for 6 weeks |
| DEVICE | Low-intensity IMT | 30 breaths at 15% of the maximal inspiratory pressure, twice daily for 6 weeks |
