Loaded inspiratory muscle test

Loaded inspiratory muscle tests will be set at 30% and 50% of maximal inspiratory pressure. The orders of the two loaded test conditions will be conducted in random order with at least 24 hours separation. This is an observational study. Subjects will perform only 15 breaths with each loaded test condition to exam the performance of their inspiratory muscles. Loaded inspiratory muscle test is not for training.
