Respiratory muscle weakness is common after mechanical ventilation and occurs early. This can limit functional recovery. Respiratory muscle training is often neglected in clinical practice. Some data indicates that inspiratory muscle training increases inspiratory muscle strength and quality of life. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of combined inspiratory and expiratory muscle training on inspiratory muscle strength. The second aim is to assess the impact of this training program on expiratory muscle strength.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trained group | Experimental | Patients will benefit from usual respiratory physiotherapy (secretion clearance treatment and recruitment maneuvers), and muscle training. This program will be delivered 5 days a week. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT): using a threshold IMT device with mouthpiece, 5 sets of 6 breaths, intensity is prescribed at 60% of maximal inspiratory pressure for the first set, and then increased to the highest tolerable intensity to allow completion of the 6th breath Expiratory muscle training (EMT): using a bottle filled with water, starting at 5cm and then increased to 8 cm gradually, 5 sets of 6 breaths Training program starts after mechanical ventilation weaning, as soon as the patient is collaborative, and is continued until 1 month after ICU discharge |
|
| Untrained group | Placebo Comparator | Patients will benefit from usual respiratory physiotherapy (secretion clearance treatment and recruitment maneuvers), and muscle exercises that are not planned to train muscles. This program will be delivered 5 days a week. Inspiratory exercises: fractionated inspiration, 5 sets of 6 breaths Expiratory exercises: using a bottle filled with water (1 cm) Exercises program starts after mechanical ventilation weaning, as soon as the patient is collaborative, and is continued until 1 month after ICU discharge |
