Age greater than 18 years; confirmed medical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease with a degree of severity between 1 and 3 according to the HOEHN & YAHR classification or stroke diagnosed six months ago; ability to understand and perform respiratory maneuvers with appropriate technique; absence of pulmonary or neuromuscular disease; except Parkinson's disease.

Exclusion Criteria

Will not be included in the study, individuals who present cognitive alterations according to the Mini Mental State Examination, observing the following score; if illiterate; score less than 19 points; with 1 to 3 years of schooling; score below 23 points; with 4 to 7 years of schooling; score below 24 points, and above 7 years of schooling; score less than 28 points. They present osteomioarticular lesions that make physical activity impossible; chronic uncontrolled diseases such as hypertension; diabetes mellitus and chronic pain. Unstable cardiovascular diseases such as acute heart failure; recent myocardial infarction; unstable angina and uncontrolled arrhythmias. Lung or other diseases that adversely affect the respiratory pump, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Use of alcohol and other toxic substances; have facial paralysis or difficulty in sealing the mouthpiece during training. In addition to the aforementioned criteria; participants will be excluded in cases of absences exceeding three at the end of eight weeks of treatment; present osteomioarticular or cardiovascular changes acquired during the treatment period that make physical activity and / or inspiratory muscle training impossible.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
When assessing respiratory muscle strength through manovacuometry and functional capacity through the six-minute walk test, after respiratory muscle training protocol with line resistor associated with neurofuncinal rehabilitation protocol; It is expected to find improvement in the functional capacity of individuals with stroke and Parkinson's, after respiratory muscle training.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
When evaluating the effect of respiratory muscle training through manovacuometry on inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength; It is expected to find an increase in respiratory muscle strength.;When evaluating the effect of respiratory muscle training through manovacuometry; It is expected to find increased cough effectiveness and lung volumes and capacities assessed by spirometry.;When evaluating the effect of respiratory muscle training through manovacuometry; It is expected to find an increase in respiratory endurance assessed by maximum voluntary ventilation in the spirometry device.
