An interventional study of Respiratory muscle training in Obesity, sponsored by Fondation Edith Seltzer. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2009-12-04.
Sponsored by Fondation Edith Seltzer · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
Obese patients are known to have increased work of breathing inducing dyspnea, exercise intolerance and impaired quality of life. Respiratory muscle training is known to increase respiratory muscle capacity, reduce dyspnoea and improve exercise performance in healthy subjects and respiratory patients. The investigators hypothesized that Respiratory muscle training would reduce dyspnoea, increase exercise tolerance and quality of life in obese patients.
This is the only study on the registry with Fondation Edith Seltzer as lead sponsor.
