Özet
BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects multiple organ systems, particularly the lungs, where hypoxemia may occur. Musculoskeletal problems, fatigue, and exercise intolerance frequently occur. The effects of inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) have not been adequately investigated in patients with post-COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the effects of IMST on functional exercise capacity, muscle oxygenation and strength, fatigue, and dyspnea in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome and pulmonary involvement.MethodsA randomized controlled, triple-blinded study including 40 patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome and pulmonary involvement. Patients were divided into IMST and control groups. The IMST group performed IMST using a threshold inspiratory muscle trainer (POWERbreathe®, HaB International Ltd., UK) at 50% of MIP, while the control group performed breathing …
