Inspiratory Muscle Strength

Older, obese adults with moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnea who perform 5 min/day high-intensity inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) exhibit lowered casual and nighttime systolic blood pressure and sympathetic nervous outflow. In contrast, adults assigned to a control (low-intensity) intervention exhibit no change in casual blood pressure or muscle sympathetic nerve activity and a trend toward increased overnight blood pressure. Remarkably, adherence to IMST even among sleep-deprived and exercise-intolerant adults is high (96%).
