Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increase in respiratory muscle strength Verified by measurement of maximal respiratory pressures ( MIP and MEP ) through the manometer with increase of more than 2.4 points - value Examiner repeatability coefficient Increase in the time of exercise tolerance. The increase in exercise tolerance time will be measured by the constant load test in cycle ergometer with an average increase of 100 seconds in time of tolerance in constant load exercise | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Desaturation decreased during the year Will be assessed using pulse oximetry during exercise through an oxygen saturation test to the end of at least 4 % higher. | — |
