Official Title: The Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Diaphragm Thickness, Inspiratory Muscle Strength and Exercise Capacity in Individuals With Sarcopenia
Brief Summary:
Sarcopenia, according to EWGSOP2(European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People-2019), is a progressive and generalised skeletal muscle disorder that is associated with increased likelihood of adverse outcomes including falls, fractures, physical disability, and mortality. Changes in muscle strength and muscle mass that occur with aging are not only limited to the skeletal muscles surrounding the axial and appendicular skeleton, but also occur in the respiratory muscles. With aging, respiratory muscle…
