Interventions

inspiratory muscle trainingother

Both groups will undertake six weeks of inspiratory muscle training (POWERbreathe, H\&B International Ltd, UK), six days per week, with the only difference being the load set on the inspiratory muscle training device. For the real inspiratory muscle training group this load will be set to around 50% of maximal inspiratory mouth pressure and for the sham inspiratory muscle training group this load will be set to around 5% of maximal inspiratory mouth pressure.
