ALL

Age

18 Years - 45 Years

Healthy Volunteers

Accepted

Interventions

• High-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training — DEVICE
  Participants will perform high-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training on a daily basis for eight weeks using a handheld device that produces resistance that increases the effort of breathing in.
• Very-low-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training — DEVICE
  Participants will perform very-low-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training on a daily basis for eight weeks using a handheld device that produces resistance that increases the effort of breathing in.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to determine whether inspiratory muscle strength training reduces blood pressure in adults with obesity.
