Original filing
This study aims to investigate and compare the effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT), balance training, and a combination of both on respiratory muscle strength and balance in older adults. Aging is often associated with a decline in skeletal and respiratory muscle strength, which can increase the risk of falls and impact overall functionality. Participants aged 60 and over will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Respiratory Muscle Training group (30 breaths, twice daily), Balance Training group (45-50 minute sessions, 3 days a week), Combined Training group (both IMT and balance exercises). The intervention will last for 8-weeks. Researchers will evaluate respiratory muscle strength, balance, core endurance, and functional capacity before and after the 8-week program to determine which approach is most effective in improving these parameters in the geriatric population.
