Comparison of the Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training and Baduanjin Exercises in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patients

The study aims to compare the effects of inspiratory muscle training and Baduanjin exercises on pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. By investigating these interventions, the investigators seek to introduce novel approaches that can enhance pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and overall quality of life for these patients. In the study, which will involve three groups-the control group, the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) group, and the Baduanjin group-it was calculated that a total of 51 patients, with 17 in each group (n = 17), should be included. The IMT group will use an inspiratory muscle training device twice a day, every day of the week, for 15 minutes. This training will continue for 8 weeks, with supervision once a week and unsupervised sessions on the other days. The Baduanjin group will participate in a 50-minute exercise program, which includes a 10-minute warm-up, a 30-minute routine of eight separate movements, and a 10-minute cool-down. This will occur three times a week (twice in person and once online) for 8 weeks.
