About

The aim of this study is evaluate the clinical, hemodynamic and electrocardiographic responses during an inspiratory muscle training session during a single cardiopulmonary rehabilitation session program. An electrocardiogram will be continuously recorded and the heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) will be evaluated before, during and immediately after a single inspiratory muscle training (IMT) session, consisting of two series of 15 cycles, with one-minute intervals between sets and an initial load of at least 30% of the initial maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP).

IMT - Inspiratory Muscle Training

Description:

21 (16 males/5 femalesen) with a mean age of 73 ± 7.4 years were studied. Among the 21 study participants, the most prevalent clinical condition was coronary artery disease (11 cases); four individuals showing a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and/or asthma, two presented congestive heart failure and the last four had other diseases
