Clinical Trial: Longitudinal Assessment of Lung Function and Respiratory Muscle Strength Following Training of the Inspiratory Muscles in Frail Older Adults (IMT-3)

U.S., April 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07556445) titled 'Longitudinal Assessment of Lung Function and Respiratory Muscle Strength Following Training of the Inspiratory Muscles in Frail Older Adults (IMT-3)' on April 22.

Brief Summary: This study aims to evaluate the effects of an 8-week inspiratory muscle training program on lung function and respiratory muscle strength in frail older adults aged 80 years and above. Frailty is associated with reduced physical capacity, declines in functional performance, impaired respiratory performance, and a higher risk of disability. Inspiratory muscle training is a simple, low-cost intervention that may improve breathing function, inspiratory muscle ...
