| OTHER | Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) | IMT is a breathing training technique customized to participant's breathing capacity. Using a handheld electronic manometer (Pro2Fit from Smithfield), a study personnel will initiate training at 40-60% maximal inspiratory pressure. Adjustments will be customized to where the participant reports a difficulty of training between 4-6 out of 10. Training sessions will be performed about 30 minutes a day for 28 consecutive days. |
