Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension.

American Journal of Cardiology, 2023
The study aimed to examine the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). A total of 24 patients with PH were included in the randomized controlled evaluator-blind study.

Inspiratory Muscle Training in Type 2 Diabetes with Inspiratory Muscle Weakness

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2011
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus may present weakness of the inspiratory muscles. We tested the hypothesis that inspiratory muscle training (IMT) could improve inspiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, functional capacity, and autonomic modulation in patients with type 2 diabetes and weakness of the inspiratory muscles.Maximal inspiratory ...

Inspiratory muscle training for cystic fibrosis

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2008
Cystic fibrosis is the most common life-limiting genetic condition in Caucasians and the life-expectancy of those newly diagnosed is increasing. Inspiratory muscle training may be a way of improving the lung function and quality of life of people with cystic fibrosis.

Specificity and Reversibility of Inspiratory Muscle Training

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2003
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pressure-flow specificity of adaptations to inspiratory muscle training (IMT), in addition to the temporal effects of detraining and reduced frequency of training upon these adaptations.Twenty-four healthy subjects were assigned randomly to one of four groups (A: low-flow-high-pressure IMT; B: high-flow-low-

Inspiratory Muscle Training: Integrative Review

Research and Theory for Nursing Practice, 2006
This article provides a critical review of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although extensive research on IMT has accumulated, its benefits have been debated, primarily because of methodological limitations of studies. Using relevant key words, multiple databases were searched from 1966.

Effects of inspiratory muscle training on electromyographic activity of inspiratory muscles in asthmatics

European Respiratory Journal, 2014
Background: Electromyographic evaluation provides quantitative information about the specific function of each muscle. Thus it can be used to justify the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on the inspiratory muscles. Objectives: To investigate the effects of IMT on surface electromyographic (sEMG) activity of inspiratory ...

Inspiratory Muscle Training in the Patient With Neuromuscular Disease

Physical Therapy, 1995
Pulmonary complications due to respiratory muscle dysfunction are commonly a source of morbidity and mortality in patients with neuromuscular diseases. This review discusses the adverse effects of respiratory muscle weakness on pulmonary mechanics and examines the role that inspiratory muscle training may play in reversing pulmonary dysfunction in ...

Maximal shortening of inspiratory muscles: effect of training

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1983
Normal subjects can increase their vital capacity by appropriate training. We tested whether that change can be achieved by greater maximal shortening of the inspiratory muscles without concomitant increases in peak static inspiratory pressures. Sixteen healthy volunteers participated in the study: eight were randomly assigned to make 20 inhalations ...
