Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) can reverse or delay the complications from the deterioration of inspiratory muscle function in asthma. Thus, the IMT has been considered a treatment option for people with asthma. The aim of this study is to investigate the training principles of intensity, specificity and reversibility of IMT in asthmatics.
