Study Summary

This trial aims to find out if training the muscles used for breathing can help lower blood pressure in adults who are overweight.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with obesity, defined by a body mass index (BMI) between 30 and 40 kg/m2. It's not specified who can't join the trial beyond these criteria.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing two types of breathing exercises: one with high resistance and another with very low resistance, to see if they can lower blood pressure in obese adults.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed, but inspiratory muscle training may cause temporary breathlessness or fatigue during exercise.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: High-resistance inspiratory muscle strength trainingActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will perform high-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training on a daily basis for eight weeks using a handheld device that produces resistance that increases the effort of breathing in.
Group II: Very-low resistance inspiratory muscle strength trainingPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Participants will perform very-low-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training on a daily basis for eight weeks using a handheld device that produces resistance that increases the effort of breathing in.
