Combined Inspiratory Muscle Training and Functional High-Intensity Interval Training in Boys With Obesity
Combined Inspiratory Muscle Training and Functional High-Intensity Interval Training Promote Respiratory, Diaphragmatic, and Aerobic Adaptations in Children With Obesity
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Childhood obesity is associated with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness, impaired exercise tolerance, and altered respiratory mechanics. This randomized controlled trial investigated whether combining inspiratory muscle training with functional high-intensity interval training improves diaphragm morphology, respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, aerobic fitness, and functional exercise capacity in boys with obesity. Fifty boys aged 10-12 years were randomly assigned to six weeks of combined inspiratory muscle training and functional high-intensity interval training or usual activity.
