“…IMT has been demonstrated as a safe and practical exercise program for a diverse range of diseases through multiple studies [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Its efficacy in treating cardiac diseases such as heart failure and hypertension has been widely acknowledged, yet there is limited evidence available to support its potential application in CAD patients [9,[21][22][23].…”

Background Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been recognized as an effective form of training in patients with cardiovascular disease and heart failure. However, little is known about the efficacy of IMT in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this systematic review will be to evaluate randomized controlled studies to understand the effect of IMT on CAD patients. Method We will include randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of IMT in patients 18 years and older diagnosed with CAD. Crossover trials, cluster-randomized, quasi-randomized, and non-randomized trials will be excluded. Study search will be conducted in major databases (MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, and PEDro). The study intervention will be IMT independent of the duration, frequency, or intensity of training. The primary outcome will be quality of life, patient-reported health status, and all adverse events related to IMT. Secondary outcomes will include exercise capacity and respiratory muscle strength. The risk of bias will be evaluated based on the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Screening, data extraction, and quality assessment will be performed by two independent reviewers. If two or more studies are considered to be clinically homogeneous, a meta-analysis based on the random-effects model will be performed. The quality of evidence will be evaluated based on the GRADE approach. Conclusion This systematic review will improve our understanding of the effects of IMT on CAD patients and potentially establish IMT as an alternative form of exercise training for the treatment of CAD.

“…Respiratory muscle training (RMT) strengthens the inspiratory and/or expiratory muscles. This training is performed by breathing against a specific resistance through an adjustable valve [ 11 ]. In many conditions, such as respiratory or cardiovascular diseases, this type of training has shown significant results and improvements in crucial outcomes, such as functional capacity or symptoms [ 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

Background: Effective treatments for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) include positive pressure, weight loss, oral appliances, surgery, and exercise. Although the involvement of the respiratory muscles in OSA is evident, the effect of training them to improve clinical outcomes is not clear. We aimed to determine the effects of respiratory muscle training in patients with OSA. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in seven databases. Studies that applied respiratory muscle training in OSA patients were reviewed. Two independent reviewers analysed the studies, extracted the data and assessed the quality of evidence. Results: Of the 405 reports returned by the initial search, eight articles reporting on 210 patients were included in the data synthesis. Seven included inspiratory muscle training (IMT), and one included expiratory muscle training (EMT). Regarding IMT, we found significant improvement in Epworth sleepiness scale in −4.45 points (95%CI −7.64 to −1.27 points, p = 0.006), in Pittsburgh sleep quality index of −2.79 points (95%CI −4.19 to −1.39 points, p < 0.0001), and maximum inspiratory pressure of −29.56 cmH2O (95%CI −53.14 to −5.98 cmH2O, p = 0.01). However, the apnoea/hypopnea index and physical capacity did not show changes. We did not perform a meta-analysis of EMT due to insufficient studies. Conclusion: IMT improves sleepiness, sleep quality and inspiratory strength in patients with OSA.

Effects of Exercise in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) constitutes a public health problem, with various systemic consequences that can increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality as well as increase healthcare expenditure. This review discusses the rationale and effects of using general physical exercise, oropharyngeal exercises, and respiratory muscle training as an adjunctive treatment for patients with sleep apnoea. The recommended treatment for OSA is the use of continuous positive airway pressure, which is a therapy that prevents apnoea events by keeping the airways open. In the last decade, coadjuvant treatments that aim to support weight loss (including diet and physical exercise) and oropharyngeal exercises have been proposed to lower the apnoea/hypopnoea index among patients with OSA. Based on the available evidence, health professionals could decide to incorporate these therapeutic strategies to manage patients with sleep apnoea.
