Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Follow up with a specialized pulmonology physician, aged between 40 - 80 years, living in city of the study, not in use of oxigenoteraphy or disease exacerbation in the last three months, not practicing regular physical activity in the last six months will be eligible to participate.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Musculoskeletal comorbidities that interfere with the march ; which decreased the oxygen saturation ( SpO2) <90 % during cardiopulmonary exercise testing ; who had difficulty intellectual understanding that prevented them from performing evaluation activities ; abandon the proposed therapeutic program ; missing the proposed activity over one week or they do not appear to the re-evaluation.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Identify the type of more effective inspiratory muscle training and that will elucidate the effects of TMI in exercise tolerance , identify if there is any impact on the strength and endurance of the respiratory muscles when subjected to different training , from the evaluation , before and after the training period , the maximal respiratory pressures and nasal inspiratory pressure sniff ( manometer ) and breath test dynamic muscular endurance (spirometry ), and exercise tolerance by incremental test walk . | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Identify the best mode TMI may be included in conventional pulmonary rehabilitation programs, allowing them to optimize the therapeutic management of patients with COPD. It is also expected that these results endorse adjustments to the modalities used to strengthen the respiratory muscles, as we believe that a well- implemented therapeutic program can reduce the rates of morbidity / mortality in these patients and improve their quality of life. | — |
