Clinical Trial: Effects of Isocapnic Respiratory Muscle Endurance Training in Healthy Adults

U.S., Aug. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07103291) titled 'Effects of Isocapnic Respiratory Muscle Endurance Training in Healthy Adults' on July 10.

Brief Summary: Respiratory muscle training (RMT) strengthens breathing muscles and may improve exercise performance and reduce breathlessness. However, different training methods and devices create controversy in the field. Two main types of RMT exist: inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and respiratory endurance training, like voluntary isocapnic hyperpnea (VIH). While IMT is well-studied, the impact of VIH on breathlessness remains unclear. This study will use the Canadian-developed BreathWayBetter device to examine how 5 weeks of VIH affects br...
