Summary
This study aims to investigate whether adjunctive inspiratory muscle training (IMT) can enhance the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in patients with COVID-19. 120 patients will be randomized into an interventional group (PR plus IMT) and a control group (sham IMT plus PR). Improvement in quality of life, peak VO2 and VE/VCO2 slope will be defined as a primary outcome. Maximal inspiratory pressure, inspiratory muscle endurance, pulmonary function testing, severity of fatigue, cost-effectiveness and six minute walk test will be defined as the secondary outcomes.
