Summary

The pourpose of this study is to verify if have relationship between respiratory muscle strenght, peripheral muscle blood flow and gait speed in the elderly.

Conditions

  • Age Problem

Interventions

OTHER

Respiratory muscle strength

Pimax and Pmax will be performed according to the (ATS) and (ERS). A Manovacuometer (Analog M 120, GlobalMed) with a range between 0-120cmH2O will be used. The elderly should undergo forced inspiration after maximal expiration and forced expiration after maximal inspiration through a mouthpiece with a hole to prevent closure of the glottis to evaluate Pimax and Pmax. The elderly should sustain the inspiration for 1 second. Three measurements will be performed, with a one-minute interval between them, with less difference equal to 10% between them, the higher value will be used.
