Comparison of Device Based Inspiratory Muscle Training and Thera-band Resistive Training in Healthy Adults

Comparison of Inspiratory Muscle Training and Thera-band Resistive Training on Diaphragmatic Strength and Pulmonary Function of Healthy Adults.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of inspiratory muscle training and Thera-band resistive training on pulmonary function and diaphragmatic strength of healthy adults. This trail investigate whether IMT can improve pulmonary function and diaphragmatic strength of healthy adults as well as overall respiratory health.

Inspiratory Muscle Training(IMT) has been shown to improve respiratory muscle strength and endurance in various conditions. This study aims to explore the effects of IMT specifically in healthy young adults. To assess whether a structured IMT program improves diaphragmatic strength and pulmonary function in healthy adults. A randomized control trail involving 56 competitive young healthy adults will be conducted. The study duration will be 8 weeks, with assessments conducted at baseline , mid-point, and at the end of intervention. The IMT group participate in 20 minutes of training session, 4 to 5 times per week, using power-breathe device. Thera-band resistive training group participate in 15 minutes of training session, 3 times per week, using different colors of thera-band. This study aims to provide robust evidence on the benefits of IMT for young healthy adults.
