Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of inspiratory muscle training on sleep apnea in the elderly. The patients screened will be randomized and allocated into two groups, intervention and control. In the intervention group, the patients will perform the exercises with the inspiratory muscular training apparatus called Powerbreathe with progressive load, according to its inspiratory muscular force. The control group will perform the same exercises, with the same apparatus, but without load.
