What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and Thera-band resistive training on pulmonary function and diaphragmatic strength in healthy young adults. A randomized controlled trial will involve 56 participants aged 20 to 35, who will undergo either IMT or Thera-band training over an 8-week period. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, mid-point, and at the end of the intervention to measure improvements in respiratory health. The goal is to provide evidence on the benefits of IMT for enhancing respiratory muscle strength and endurance.
