Intensity, Specificity and Reversibility of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Asthmatics

Intensity, Specificity and Reversibility of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Asthmatics: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) can reverse or delay the complications from the deterioration of inspiratory muscle function in asthma. Thus, the IMT has been considered a treatment option for people with asthma. The aim of this study is to investigate the training principles of intensity, specificity and reversibility of IMT in asthmatics.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of asthma
• Adults (18 - 60 years)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Inability to perform the protocol established by the study
• Others respiratory diseases
• Request for study withdrawal
