Abstract:
Muscle fatigue has a major role in affecting exercise tolerance among general population. Respiratory muscle strengthening plays an important role in daily living to minimize fatigability. A total number of 124 subjects were approached from which only 80 were recruited by convenient sampling method. Participant were assessed for lung function using IMT device and peak flow meter.In a study, we distributed subjects in group A (n=40) and group B (n=40) and assessed. Result shows, values were pre (25.2±5.72) & (25.55±7.2) and post (35.64±5.09) &(34.32±102.10)shows significant improvement (p<0.0001). We also calculated peak expiratory flow rate with the average values of A (535.5±98.13) & (635.75±102.10) and the average values of group B (508±123.52) and (607.25±120.89) pre and post respectively(p<0.0001).The study concluded that, inspiratory muscle training or resisted diaphragmatic exercises have equal effect on lung function in general population.
