Conditions

Pulmonary function and respiratory muscle function in children and adolescents with obstructive sleep apnea and obesity inspiratory muscle training, obstructive sleep apnea, obesity, children and adolescents, case report

Interventions

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) was performed using the POWERbreathe Classic light device. Protocol for the IMT group consisted of 12 weeks of home-based training with moderate resistance (60% of MI
Active Comparator Device
inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with resistance 60% of MIP
