About this trial
It is well known that the the training with the IMT device increases the Maximal Inspiratory Pressure. Nonetheless, there are doubts about which muscles are involved during this training. The aim of this study is to determine the diaphragm loading of healthy subjects during the training with a IMT device from a low . Therefore, each subject will be monitored using esophageal and gastric manometry.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Diaphragm intervention during a certain percentage of resistive load with a IMT device
The diaphragm intervention is determined by the relation of the gastric pressure and the transdiaphragmatic pressure
