Why the study?
Current guidelines recommend exercise and physical activity, such as inspiratory muscle training and neuromuscular training, as adjunctive therapies alongside pharmacological treatments for patients with heart failure.
Does inspiratory and peripheral muscle training improve respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, lung function, and functional capacity in patients with heart failure?
Does inspiratory and peripheral muscle training improve respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, lung function, and functional capacity in patients with heart failure?
Combined IMT+PMT improves respiratory/peripheral muscle strength and exercise tolerance in HF; reinforces guideline-endorsed adjunctive training.
