Summary

The main objective of the present study is to verify whether respiratory muscle training programme (IMT+EMT; included both inspriratory and expiratory muscles), applied by telerehabilitation, is an effective intervention (versus placebo and versus inspiratory muscle training in isolation (IMT)) in improving quality of life, cardiopulmonary function and physical and psychological state in people with ischemic heart disease. In addition, the aim is to determine whether respiratory muscle training (IMT or IMT+EMT) is effective in enhancing the results obtained by a conventional cardiac rehabilitation programme on the aforementioned variables.

Conditions

• Ischemic Heart Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Inspiratory muscle training	Participants will engage in inspiratory muscle training programme at home using an inspiratory muscle training threshold device . This training will be conducted twice daily, five days a week, for eight weeks, with physiotherapist supervision provided three times per week by telerehabilitation.
OTHER	Combined inspiratory and expiratory muscle training	Participants will engage in inspiratory+expiratory muscle training programme at home using an inspiratory+expiratory muscle training threshold device . This training will be conducted twice daily, five days a week, for eight weeks, with physiotherapist supervision provided three times per week by telerehabilitation.
OTHER	Sham inspiratory muscle training	Participants will engage in sham inspiratory muscle training programme at home using a sham inspiratory muscle training threshold device . This training will be conducted twice daily, five days a week, for eight weeks, with physiotherapist supervision provided three times per week by telerehabilitation.
OTHER	Sham combined inspiratory and expiratory muscle training	Participants will engage in sham inspiratory+expiratory muscle training programme at home using a sham inspiratory+expiratory muscle training threshold device . This training will be conducted twice daily, five days a week, for eight weeks, with physiotherapist supervision provided three times per week by telerehabilitation.
OTHER	Conventional cardiac rehabilitation programme	Following the respiratory muscle training programme, participants will transition to a center-based cardiovascular exercise programme conducted twice weekly for eight weeks.
