Effects of Training Using Volume and Flow-oriented Incentive Spirometry in Healthy Subjects - Case-control Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Voldyne group (VG) and Cliniflo group (CG) for Healthy. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Experimental Procedure: The subjects underwent an initial interview in which was filled in a form of anamnesis, in addition to being assessed and reassessed by spirometry, dynamic circumference and manometer. Moreover, responded international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ - short version) in order to characterize the physical activity level of each participant being classified as inactive, irregularly active, active, and very active. The same examiner performed the assessments and reassessments of individuals after a training program.

Interventions
VG: slow deep breaths through the mouthpiece of the incentive Voldyne5000® were conducted from the tidal volume (TV) until the total lung capacity (TLC), holding the maximum inspiration. All individuals should maintain "yellow cup" ("yellow flow cup") at a range of flow "Best" in as long as possible. The training lasted approximately 50 minutes, were held twice a week on alternate days, for five consecutive weeks, totaling 10 sessions. Performed three sets of 15 repetitions.
CG: slow deep breaths through the mouthpiece of the incentive Cliniflo® from tidal volume (TV) were performed until the total lung capacity (TLC), holding the maximum inspiration. The volume flow of 100 ml / s for Cliniflo® was standardized, being envisaged to keep the yellow indicator behind the "happy face" for all individuals.The training lasted approximately 50 minutes, were held twice a week on alternate days, for five consecutive weeks, totaling 10 sessions. Performed three sets of 15 repetitions.
