Interventions

  • Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training — OTHER
    Participants will be asked to inhale against a resistance. This resistance will be set to \~55% of their maximal inspiratory ability. Participants will complete 5 sets of 6 breaths (30 total) a day for 5 days a week for 6 weeks.

Study Details

This study is examining the effects of six weeks of inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) on outcomes related to pulmonary hypertension. This study leverages previous cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) results and a pre-existing upcoming CPET to examine the effects of IMST on cardiopulmonary pressures and exercise tolerance and ability.
