Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Diaphragm thickness
ultrasound measurements of diaphragm thickness
Time frame
Baseline and after 8 weeks of training2
Cognitive performance
CAAPES performance with the higher percentage correct corresponding to a better performance.
Time frame
Baseline and after 8 weeks of trainingSecondary outcomes
1
Dyspnea
Measure of breathing discomfort and pleasantness using a visual analog scale, the higher the value the more discomfort and unpleasant the subject's breathing is.
