Investigation of the Acute Effects of Traditional and Functional IMT on Muscle Oxygenation in COPD
Investigation of the Acute Effects of Traditional and Functional Inspiratory Muscle Training on Muscle Oxygenation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to compare the effects of functional and conventional inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on post-exercise muscle deoxygenation in individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Participants will complete both training modalities on separate days. A 2-minute walk test (2MWT) will be performed baseline, and after each session. Muscle oxygenation (SmO₂) will be assessed using near-infrared spectroscopy . Dyspnea and fatigue will be evaluated with the Modified Borg Scale, and heart rate and oxygen saturation (SpO₂) will be measured by pulse oximetry. Measurements will be recorded before, after training and at the end of the walking test.
