functional inspiratory muscle training in obese individuals

Conditions: Obesity

Summary: in obese individuals, increased adipose tissue and systemic inflammation play a key role in the development of cardiometabolic diseases, pulmonary system dysfunction, and many respiratory diseases. existing research has demonstrated beneficial clinical outcomes of inspiratory muscle training or combined aerobic and resistance exercise training in obese individuals. however, this focused on the isolated effects of exercise on obesity. in the current literature, no study is evaluating the effectiveness of functional inspiratory muscle training in obese individuals. this study aims to investigate the effects of functional inspiratory muscle training on body composition, cardiometabolic markers, functional capacity, respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength, and respiratory muscle performance in obese individuals.

obesity is characterized by increased adipose tissue and systemic inflammation that play a key role in the development of non-communicable chronic diseases. it is well known that individuals with obesity have decreased exercise capacity and muscle weakness in both peripheral and respiratory muscles. exercise training is recommended in addition to healthy dietary habits in managing obesity. current literature demonstrated beneficial clinical outcomes of isolated inspiratory muscle training or combined aerobic and resistance exercise training in obese individuals. functional inspiratory muscle training is a method that combines both aerobic exercise and inspiratory muscle training. in the current literature, no study is evaluating the effectiveness of functional inspiratory muscle training in obese individuals. the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of functional inspiratory muscle training on body composition, cardiometabolic markers, functional capacity, respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength and respiratory muscle performance in obese individuals.
