12-weeks pulmonary rehabilitation plus placebo (inactive) inspiratory musclePOWERBreathe Plus®To assess maximum inspiratory pressure with placebo, you will be asked to breathe through a device called POWERBreathe Plus®. This device is commercially available and will be provided to you by the study. You will be asked to use this device twice per day, 5 days per week, for 12 weeks. Each session will require you to breathe into the device 30 times. You can use the device at home. The resistance will be set to about 5% throughout the study.
