Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT)

"The training itself includes 2 x 30 breathing cycles per day. The whole training should take place daily, 7 days a week. The initial training intensity in the treatment arm (resistance of the respiratory muscle training) is set to 50% of the maximum respiratory muscle strength (measured using PImax). Once a week the present investigators get a picture of patient's training, pay attention to shortness of breath, potential for adaptation.~In the control arm of the study, this force adjustment would not take place, i.e. it is an endurance training of the diaphragm (10% of PI Max over the whole 6 weeks) with, however, also the control dates of the training twice a week. At least in the 6 weeks of the study (see above)."
