Short period of high-intensity inspiratory muscle training improves inspiratory muscle strength in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease is a complex disease that impacts multiple organs and systems (including musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory) leading to reduction of functional capacity.

Objective

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a short period of high intensity inspiratory muscle training on maximum inspiratory pressure, functional capacity and endothelial function of chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis.

Methods

This randomized controlled trial enrolled 25 patients who were allocated into two groups: intervention (IMTG=14) and control (CG=11) groups. Intervention patients received the exercise protocol over a period of 5 weeks, 6 times per week, with each session consisting of 5 sets of 10 repetitions with an initial load of 50%
