The Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Blood Pressure and Functional Capacity in Elderly With Hypertension

The Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Blood Pressure and Functional Capacity in Elderly With Hypertension

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate in elderly with hypertension . The main question it aim to answer is:

• Investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training on inspiratory muscle strength, blood pressure and physical capacity

Participants will be random in to 2 group and measure baseline. Control group will advise to maintain normal daily life activity. and Intervention group will receive inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with 60% of Maximal inspiratory pressure. Intervention group will perform IMT 30 breaths/day, 5 days a week for 6 weeks.

after 6 weeks both group will remeasure variable again as post test

Exclusion Criteria:

• Unstable angina
• Resting heart rate more than 120 bpm
• Resting blood pressure more than 180/100 mmHg
• Other abnormality with contribute to IMT and variable measurement
