Measure
Experimental
6 weeks of inspiratory muscle training, 6 days per week. The intensity of training will be equivalent to up to 50% of pre-training maximal inspiratory mouth pressure and will be adapted weekly to reflect the improvement in inspiratory muscle strength inspiratory muscle training: Both groups will undertake six weeks of inspiratory muscle training (POWERbreathe, H\&B International Ltd, UK), six days per week, with the only difference being the load set on the inspiratory muscle training device. For the real inspiratory muscle training group this load will be set to around 50% of maximal inspiratory mouth pressure and for the sham inspiratory muscle training group this load will be set to around 5% of maximal inspiratory mouth pressure.
Sham Comparator
6 weeks of sham inspiratory muscle training, 6 days per week. The intensity of training will be equivalent to 5% of pre-training inspiratory mouth pressure throughout the 6 week period. inspiratory muscle training: Both groups will undertake six weeks of inspiratory muscle training (POWERbreathe, H\&B International Ltd, UK), six days per week, with the only difference being the load set on the inspiratory muscle training device.
