Comparison of the Effects of Peripheral Muscle Training and Inspiratory Muscle: Randomized Clinical Study.
In geriatric individuals, there is a decrease in muscle strength, muscle mass and physical performance with ageing. These physiological changes occurring in geriatric individuals make maintaining the physical activity necessary for a healthy life difficult. Weakness of respiratory muscles in geriatric individuals can increase the prevalence of diseases and disability. It has been shown in the literature that peripheral muscle training and inspiratory muscle training increase exercise capacity similarly. The effectiveness of moderate-intensity peripheral muscle training and inspiratory muscle training in sarcopenic geriatric individuals was compared and found to have similar effects on muscle strength. Our study aims to compare the effects of inspiratory and peripheral muscle training in addition to aerobic exercise on muscle strength, physical performance, respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, sarcopenia, and quality of life.
