Summary

The purpose of this study is to the effect of the breather exerciser trainer on diaphragmatic mobility and thickness in elderly.

Detailed description

Egypt is the most populous country in Middle East, with expected elder population will reach 20.8% in 2050. Almost, old population undergo sarcopenia, and dynapenia including respiratory musculatures that may associated with elevated mortality rate. Such physiological deteriorations have a potential impact on the elders quality of life. Therefore, regular specific breathing and exercise training may promote healthier life, and permits more mechanical efficient breathing pattern, thus older population could live a hassle-free life. older adults can maintain and improve their lung capacity.

Conditions

• Aging Well

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Breather Exerciser Trainer	Gradual intensity from 2-3 rate of perceived exertion (RPE) up to reach 5-7 RPE, with gradual frequency; 1st week 8 sets of 5 repetitions '1 minute rest', 2nd week be 9 sets, and 3rd week reach 10 sets of 5 repetitions. then from 4-8 weeks 'end of study protocol' will be 10 sets of 6 repetitions with 1 minute rest between sets.), along with conventional breathing exercises (Diaphragmatic breathing, Pursed-up breathing, and Exercise connected with respiration), for 5 sessions per week for eight weeks
OTHER	Conventional Breathing Exercise	Diaphragmatic breathing; place one hand on upper chest and the other on belly. Patient Breathe in slowly through nose, letting the air in deeply towards lower belly then patient is asked to tighten abdominal muscles and let them fall inward during exhalation through pursed lips Pursed-up breathing; by inhales through nose and exhales over 4 and 6 seconds in a whistling position Exercise connected with respiration; repetitive bilateral shoulder flexion then repetitive bilateral shoulder abduction, synchronized with breathing
