Physiological consequences of the work of breathing and of inspiratory muscle training
… observed during whole-body exercise following inspiratory muscle training (IMT). However, whether the inspiratory muscles are, in part, the source of these reductions remains unknown. Accordingly, this thesis investigated: (I) the contribution of the respiratory muscles to the systemic [lac-]B …

The influence of inspiratory muscle training upon balance and functional performance with older adults.
… Based on the research of Hodges, the diaphragm muscle may contribute to balance maintenance in two ways. Firstly, the diaphragm is activated during upper limb movements, which indicates that diaphragm co-activation may assist in the mechanical stabilisation of the spine. Secondly, the diaphragm …

Assessing the Role of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Enhancing Respiratory Function among Adults with COPD
… dyspnoea and reduced functional capacity. Inspiratory muscle dysfunction, particularly weakness of the diaphragm, plays a significant role in symptom burden and reduced quality of life among individuals with COPD. Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) has been proposed as a targeted, …

Respiratory muscle work and inspiratory muscle training on cytokines, oxidative stress and diaphragm fatigue in younger and older populations
Increased respiratory muscle work is encountered during strenuous whole-body exercise, and at rest in older adults and those with pulmonary limitations such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). When sufficiently strenuous it can result in diaphragmatic fatigue, increased blood lactate …

The effect of inspiratory muscle training on clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life in children with neuromuscular disease and respiratory muscle weakness.
Background: Progressive respiratory muscle weakness and ineffective cough contributes to pulmonary morbidity and mortality in children with neuromuscular disease. Inspiratory muscle training aims to preserve or improve respiratory muscle strength, reduce respiratory complications and improve …

Cancer prehabilitation: Developing a complex intervention for patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal surgery
… across the studies were grouped into inspiratory muscle training (five studies n=450); exercise (nine studies n=683); psychological (one study n=400); and nutritional (ten studies n=487). Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool (v.2). Data synthesis was …

The Impact of Physiotherapy on Cardiopulmonary Function in Post Covid-19 Patients
… and cohort designs) were evaluated critically. Inspiratory muscle training, telerehabilitation, aerobic and resistance training, pulmonary rehabilitation, and cutting-edge techniques like spinal neuromodulation were among the interventions that were investigated. The primary objectives included …
