Effects of IMT on Respiratory Muscle Strength

Parameter Before IMT, Mean±SD After IMT, Mean±SD P Value
MIP, cm H2O 69±22a 103±32 <0.001
MEP, cm H2O 67±23 73±33 0.10
Change in MIP, cm H2O 36±24
Percentage change in MIP, % 61±46

IMT indicates inspiratory muscle training; MEP, maximal expiratory pressure; MIP, maximal inspiratory pressure.
