Summary

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of two protocols of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in older women to improve respiratory strength, spirometric parameters and dyspnea. Low-intensity vs high-intensity resistance training programs. Evaluations: Determination of the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and the maximum expiratory pressure (MEP); spirometry - maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), peak expiratory flow (PEF), tidal volume (TV); functional capacity measured with 6 minute walk test; dyspnea using the Borg scale and clinical evaluations. The participants will be evaluated at the beginning and end of the intervention period. Intervention: There are two groups of patients, one works with low loads (20% MIP) and another with high loads (40% MIP). They train 5 days/week 15 cycles lasting 1 minute. There is a rest of 1 minute between each cycle.

Conditions

  • Respiratory Insufficiency

Interventions

DEVICE

Inspiratory muscle trainer (IMT)

The device incorporate a unidirectional valve independent of flow to guarantee constant resistance and included a specific pressure setting (in cm H2O).
