“…Health Scan, Inc., USA) that is easily adaptable and achieves a PImax of 41cm H2O or higher in an accurate and safe manner (Fregonezi et al, 2009). Prior to intervention, the researcher explained the training method to the subjects, and the subjects practiced the method to acquire an adequate level of skill.…”

| Abstract |1 )PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of inspiratory muscle training on diaphragm movement and pulmonary function in healthy women. METHODS:The subjects of the study were 27 young women between ages 19 and 22 years who had no history of orthopedic damage for the last 6 months. The 27 participants were randomly selected and spontaneously participated and consented to the purpose of the study. This study measured diaphragm movement and pulmonary function under two different conditions, before and after inspiratory muscle †Corresponding Author : Sun-Young Kang sykang0727@gmail.com, http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8843-6006 This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0) which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. training. Ultrasonography is appropriate for measuring diaphragm movement, and Pony Fx is appropriate to measure pulmonary function such as forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV₁), FEV₁/FVC ratio, and peak expiratory flow (PEF) before and after inspiratory muscle training. Paired t-test with a significant level of .05 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS:As a result, diaphragm movement significantly increases 1.45cm from before inspiratory muscle training (p<.05). Also, FVC, FEV₁, and FEP significantly increase 11.25%, 6.96%, and 8.18%, respectively, from before inspiratory muscle training (p<.05). CONCLUSION:The diaphragm movement and pulmonary function of the healthy women in this study were in stantly affected by inspiratory muscle training. From these results, we need to confirm effects of inspiratory muscle training on clinical patients such as pulmonary disease.

Adaptation of the Threshold IMT^® with double spring load allows higher inspiratory pressure for muscle training

Abstract: The Threshold IMT adaptation proposed here is simple, affordable, precise, safe and allows for a high degree of reproducibility. It also achieves pressures higher than 41 cmH(2)O that can be used when training inspiratory muscles.
