简要总结
Aging causes anatomical and physiological changes in the respiratory system and respiratory muscle strength with decline in its maximum function. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, thickness of the diaphragm and diaphragmatic mobility in older women. The investigators' hypothesis is that inspiratory muscle training improves respiratory muscle strength, the thickness of the diaphragm and diaphragmatic mobility in older women.

研究组 & 干预措施
Inspiratory muscle training
Inspiratory muscle training for 8 weeks using a device that provides a linear resistance in the inspiratory phase. 7 days a week. 8 sets of 2 minutes twice a day. Intensity was at 40% of Maximal Inspiratory Pressure.
干预措施: Inspiratory muscle training (Other)
Training sham
Training sham for 8 weeks using a device without provides resistance. 7 days a week. 8 sets of 2 minutes twice a day. Intensity was canceled.
干预措施: Training sham (Other)
