Prediction models for dynamic respiratory muscle strength in COPD and asthma patients based on fixed-pressure inspiratory muscle performance

Dynamic inspiratory muscle strength, assessed using the S-Index, reflects pressure generation during flow-dependent inspiration and may provide functional information beyond static respiratory muscle strength measures. However, its routine clinical use is limited by the need for...

Short-term inspiratory muscle training, aerobic exercise, and detraining in women with COPD: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Inspiratory muscle dysfunction, exercise intolerance, dyspnea, and reduced well-being contribute to the burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We compared the short-term effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT), aerobic exercise (AE), comb...
