The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training program in inspiratory muscle endurance, breathlessness, inspiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with interstitial lung disease. Patients are evaluated before the inspiratory muscle training and after 8 weeks of training.
Inspiratory Muscle Training has been described as an effective intervention and contribute to the improvement of inspiratory muscle function and breathlessness in patients with chronic lung disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate, the effects of inspiratory muscle endurance, breathlessness, inspiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with interstitial lung disease. It is a quasi-experimental study. Patients with interstitial lung disease are recruited from interstitial disease ambulatory. In each session patients performs two times 30 breaths with a minute rest between them. The load is set according with 50% of actual PImax, the Borg score should be between 4 and 6, otherwise the load will decrease (if Borg more than 6) or increase (if Borg less than 4). New PImax is measured weekly and the new load is defined following the same protocol for 8 weeks. Patients are evaluated before the inspiratory muscle training and after 8 weeks of training.
3,303 studies on the registry are indexed under Lung Diseases; 355 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 14 is below the median of 72 across 2,118 interventional studies indexed under Lung Diseases.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Group intervention: home-based interval inspiratory muscle training during 8 weeks, two sessions with two sets of 30 breaths with one minute rest between them. Load set is determinated weekly, aiming 50% of actual PImax and according to Borg Score.
Other: Inspiratory muscle training
Inspiratory muscle training will be performed using the tapered flow-resistive loading trainer (POWERbreathe®).

Change in Quality of life
King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease Questionnaire. It is a 15 questions questionnaire. Total score can go from 0 - 100, 100 is the better quality of life.
