- Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength in a group of elderly women with hypertension before and after a respiratory muscle training.
- Detailed Description
It is a respiratory muscle training using the Threshold for 5 weeks, with a load of 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure obtained in manometer for 30 minutes daily. Furthermore, the assessment includes: test 6-minute walk, the quality of life questionnaire, MINICHAL, the IPAQ short version, manometer and spirometry.
