Summary

The aim is to study effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training as a part of exercise training in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and if it adds to general exercise training program in regard to respiratory muscle strength, dyspnea, exercise performance and quality of life.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

theophylline, long acting bronchodilators (LABD) or combined LABD and inhaled steroids according to GOLD recommendations

OTHER

peripheral muscles exercise training

DEVICE

inspiratory muscle training

Patients started breathing at a resistance that required generation of 30% of their PImax for one week. The load was then increased incrementally, 5-10%, to reach generation of 60% of their PImax at the end of the first month. Specific IMT was then continued at 60% of their PImax adjusted weekly to the new PImax achieved.
