| Variables | Control Group (n=11) | Intervention Group (n=7) | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6MWT (m) | 337.2±37.2 | 358±42.4 | <0.001 |
| % pre | 104.9±2 | 115.5±32 | |
| MIP (cmH2O) | 57.5±12 | 69.6±14.1 | < 0.01 |
| % pre | 107±22.2 | 115±24.2 |
Values expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Pvalue refers to the difference between the groups. % pre=considering 100% of the baseline value pre-protocol; 6MWT=6-minute walk test; MIP=maximal inspiratory pressure
