Respiratory Muscle Contribution to Blood Pressure During Exercise

Respiratory Muscle Contribution to Blood Pressure During Exercise in Healthy Humans

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 38 (actual)
• Sponsor: Mayo Clinic · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 80 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The investigators seek to understand how reflexes from the breathing muscles influence blood pressure during exercise. Furthermore, the investigators are determining if increasing breathing muscle strength (via inspiratory muscle training) influences the respiratory muscle contribution to blood pressure during exercise.

Conditions

• Respiratory Muscle
• Blood Pressure
• Exercise Capacity
• Sympathetic Nerve Activity

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT)	Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) are breathing exercises used to increase strength and endurance of the respiratory muscles.
OTHER	No Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT)	No inspiratory muscle training.
