Breathing Better: Harnessing the Power of Inspiratory Muscle Training for COPD
Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is a form of exercise that specifically targets and strengthens the muscles involved in inhalation. These muscles, including the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles between the ribs, play a vital role in the breathing process. IMT aims to improve the strength, endurance, and coordination of these muscles, ultimately enhancing respiratory function.
