Aging Clinical Trial
Official title:
Respiratory Muscle Training in the Elderly: a Strategy for Preservation of Inspiratory and Expiratory Pressures Impacting on Mobility and Thickness of the Diaphragm.
Aging causes anatomical and physiological changes in the respiratory system and respiratory muscle strength with decline in its maximum function. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, thickness of the diaphragm and diaphragmatic mobility in older women. The investigators' hypothesis is that inspiratory muscle training improves respiratory muscle strength, the thickness of the diaphragm and diaphragmatic mobility in older women.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | respiratory muscle strength | Change from Baseline Respiratory Muscle Strength at 2 months | No | |
Secondary | Diafragmatic excursion and thickness of the diaphragm in the zone of apposition by ultrasonography | Ultrasound was used to evaluate diaphragm thickness non-invasively in the zone of apposition during tidal breathing and with changes in lung volume. During respiration to total lung capacity, measurement of the diafragmatic excursion was made by ultrasonography. |
