Scientific titleThe effect of inspiratory muscle training intensities on pulmonary function and exercise capacity in healthy subjects: a randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesInspiratory muscle training performed at 80%, 60% and 40% of maximal intensity will result in changes in inspirator muscle function with 80% and 40% producing positive effects on exercise capacity and 80% producing positive effect on lung volumes.
Ethics approval(s)School of Health Care Studies R&D Committee approved on the 27th August 2007 (ref: REG2707)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPulmonary function, exercise capacity
InterventionIntervention: inspiratory muscle training at 80%, 60%, 40% of maximum sustained inspiratory pressure. The training intervention was performed 3 times a week over an eight week period. Each training session took 30 minutes to complete.
Control: no participation in any form of training throughout the duration of the study.

The control group and the three training groups were assessed at the begining of the trial (the initial screening visit) and all measurements (excluding body composition) were repeated at the trial conclusion (at the end of an eight week training period for the three training groups and the control group).
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Lung volumes (vital capacity and total lung capacity)
2. Exercise capacity (cycle ergometry)
3. Inspiratory pressure

Measurements were taken before the training intervention and then at the cessation of training (i.e., following the 8 weeks of training).
Secondary outcome measuresNo secondary outcome measures
