Conditions

Child

Interventions

A randomized clinical trial will be carried out. The included 34 children will be randomly randomized by the Research Randomizer Quick Tutorial software into two groups: Respiron Group (GR) and Water

E02.190.525.186

Eligibility

Age

3 Years to 12 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Healthy subjects, aged between 3 and 12 years old, who do not have comorbidities, will be included in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Subjects with any type of comorbidity and who are younger than 2 years and 11 months or older than 12 years and one month will be excluded from the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Expected outcome 1: Expiratory muscle training with Positive Expiratory Pressure in Selo de Água could promote better results in the respiratory capacity of healthy children compared to expiratory muscle training with Respiron-Kids.;Outcome found 1: The total sample shows significant results in relation to respiratory capacity and respiratory muscle strength. All study subjects showed improvement with statistical differences in these variables. This result shows that both devices are effective, but the statistical results showed no difference between them, and it is not possible to say whether one of the devices is more effective than the other.	—
