The purpose of this RCT is to study the effects of whole muscle training (inspiratory muscle training + aerobic training + muscle resistance training) on muscle power, VO2peak and gas-exchange variables obtained during cardiopulmonary exercise testing, QoL, functional capacity (eg, 6-min walking distance), and maximal inspiratory pressure in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension.

| 8 weeks |
| Physical activity levels objectively determined with accelerometry | 8 weeks |
| Peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) directly measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CEPT) | 8 weeks |
| Other CEPT variables | Gas-exchange variables at the anaerobic threshold | 8 weeks |
| NT-ProBNP | 8 weeks |
| Performance in the 5-repetition sit-stand-test (5SST) | 8 weeks |
| Safety assessment | Evaluation of adverse episodes, ie. syncopal/pre-syncopal episodes, severe dyspnea, arrhythmias, asthma, signs of poor peripheral perfusion or central nervous symptoms (ataxia, tremors). These episodes were be reported directly by the study researchers (in the exercise group) and by a telephone interview every 2 weeks in all participants. | 8 weeks |
