Assessment of Respiratory Dysfunction in Obesity and the Use of IMT.

Functional Respiratory Tract Dysfunctions in Individuals With Obesity Undergoing Experimental Inspiratory Muscle Training.

The aim of the project will be to assess the functional condition of the respiratory tract and inflammation resulting from obesity, as well as the possibility of using inspiratory muscle training as a factor reducing the occurrence of dysfunction in the respiratory system.

Inclusion Criteria:

• diagnosed obesity, BMI equal to or greater than 30 kg/m2
• age between 30 and 60 (women and men),
• consent of the subject.

Exclusion Criteria:

• respiratory diseases requiring pharmacological treatment,
• acute illness that may affect the training programme: e.g. infection, renal failure,
• mental impairment preventing cooperation,
• mental disorders preventing contact and cooperation with the patient,
• pacemaker,
• pregnancy
• implanted electronic
• medical implants
