Aging is progressive, its effects on the respiratory system are changes in the composition of the connective tissues of the lung influencing the thoracic compliance and lung compliance. Powerbreathe® K5 is used for the inspiratory muscle training, with resistance adapted to the level of the inspiratory muscles to be trained. The Pilates method promotes muscle rebalancing exercises that emphasize the powerhouse. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of inspiratory muscle training combined with the Pilates method on lung function in elderly women. The participants were sixty-years-old or more, active women, no recent fractures and not users of gait devices. They were randomized and divided into a Pilates Group with Inspiratory Training (n = 11), a Group with the Pilates method (n = 11) and a control group (n = 9). Pre and post twenty intervention with evaluation procedures: spirometry, manovacuometry, six-minute walk test, abdominal Curl Up Test, pulmonary variables. The protocol showed an increase in maximal inspiratory muscle strength, pressure and power pulmonary (p<0,0001), maximal expiratory muscle strength (p<0,0014), six-minute walk test (p<0,01), abdominal curl up test (p <0,00001). The control group showed no difference in the variables analyzed (p> 0,05). The results of this study suggest inspiratory muscle training associated with the Pilates method provides an improvement in lung function and physical conditioning of patients elderly. |
