Brief summary
The aim of this study is evaluate the clinical, hemodynamic and electrocardiographic responses during an inspiratory muscle training session during a single cardiopulmonary rehabilitation session program. An electrocardiogram will be continuously recorded and the heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) will be evaluated before, during and immediately after a single inspiratory muscle training (IMT) session, consisting of two series of 15 cycles, with one-minute intervals between sets and an initial load of at least 30% of the initial maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP).
Interventions
OTHERInspiratory Muscle Training
Each session The session itself consisted of the following: two sets of 15 breathe cycles without removing the breathing promoter from the mouth and with the aid of a nose clip and 1-minute interval between sets. For training, we used the breathing promoters Power Breathe® Plus Light and Medium Resistance, possessing 10 levels of load gradation ranging from 17 to 186 cm H2O, which were adjusted for each patient and allowed for the individualized prescription of IMT

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| abnormal clinical responses | One day | During an IMT session, with two sets of 15 cycles at 30% of the load observed in MIP, there were no significant clinical or hemodynamic changes in patients regularly attending a supervised exercise program. In contrast, there are relatively frequent inductions of cardiac arrhythmias, mostly of low complexity, and more rarely, fleeting changes in ventricular repolarization during an IMT session. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| hemodynamic (blood pressure and heart rate) responses | one day |
| electrocardiographic pattern changes | one day |
