Inspiratory Muscle Training

Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) is a form of exercise designed to strengthen the muscles involved in breathing, specifically the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. This training typically involves using a device that creates resistance when you inhale, making your respiratory muscles work harder. By improving the strength and endurance of these muscles, IMT can enhance overall respiratory function, making it easier to breathe, especially for individuals with conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It's a valuable tool for athletes and patients alike, promoting better oxygen intake and overall lung health.
