Dyspnoea is a debilitating symptom that affects quality of life, exercise tolerance and
mortality in various disease conditions/states. In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary …

In this review, we discuss the most recent forms of exercise training available to patients with
cardiac disease and their comparison or their combination (or both) during short-and long …

Chronic heart failure (CHF) impairs critical structural and functional components of the O2
transport pathway resulting in exercise intolerance and, consequently, reduced quality of …

Inspiratory function is essential for alveolar ventilation and expulsive behaviors that promote
airway clearance (eg, coughing and sneezing). Current evidence demonstrates that …

Background Patients with a Fontan circulation have reduced exercise capacity and
respiratory muscle strength. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) improves exercise capacity …

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is considered an ergogenic resource to improve sports
performance. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the effects of IMT with linear …

A growing body of literature has underscored the value of ventilatory gas exchange
techniques during exercise testing (commonly termed cardiopulmonary exercise testing, or …

Aim Fatigue and dyspnea are debilitating symptoms in patients with heart failure (HF). The
purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on …

Objective To determine whether the impact of inspiratory muscle weakness on inspiratory
muscle training (IMT) affects inspiratory function and exercise capacity in chronic heart …

BACKGROUND: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been widely applied to different
populations, including the general population of older adults. In addition to increasing …
