Força muscular respiratória e desempenho no Modified Shuttle Walk Test em escolares com fibrose cística

RESUMO O Modified Shuttle Walk Test (MSWT) é um teste de exercício potencialmente máximo que, associado à avaliação da força muscular respiratória (FMR), reflete a condição respiratória e a capacidade de exercício de escolares com fibrose cística (FC). O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investiga...

Inspiratory muscle training and functional capacity in patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Abstract Introduction: Cardiac surgery is a highly complex procedure which generates worsening of lung function and decreased inspiratory muscle strength. The inspiratory muscle training becomes effective for muscle strengthening and can improve functional capacity. Objective: To investigate the effect...

Predicted normal values for maximal respiratory pressures in children

Introduction: Reference equations are used to predict normal values for maximal respiratory pressures. Objectives: To develop predictive equations for maximal respiratory pressure in children. Methods: A total of 144 healthy children, aged between 7 and 11 years, were assessed. Maxim...
