Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected to find increased respiratory muscle strength, as measured by the maximal inspiratory pressure seen in the manovacuometry test;An increase in respiratory muscle strength was observed in the manovacuometry test, by increasing the mean inspiratory pressure of 13cmH2O for the group that underwent training with Threshold IMT and 15cmH2O for the group that underwent training with PowerBreathe Classic. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We hope to find an increase in the cardiorespiratory functional capacity obtained by improving the six-minute walk test and improving the quality of life by improving the score of the saint george hospital questionnaire in respiratory disease assessing the quality of life;An increase in cardiorespiratory functional capacity was observed, with an increase of more than 25 meters in the distance covered in both groups in the six-minute walk test, and an improvement in the quality of life was observed, with a fall of more than 4% in the quality of life questionnaire for both groups | — |
