Introduction:
Individuals with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease may experience respiratory impairments. Exercise interventions can be prophylactic, reduce progression, and/or mitigate these problems, improving the patient's quality of life. This study aimed to analyze and compare the effect of two different combinations of multicomponent training on lung function, respiratory muscle strength, and aerobic capacity in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
Methods:
A randomized clinical trial was conducted. 13 people with a mild to moderate Parkinson's disease diagnosis were randomly assigned to two groups - group 1 (G1) undertook stretching, stationary bicycle, and strength exercises; and G2 undertook stretching, stationary bicycle exercises, inspiratory muscle training, and abdominal exercises. Both groups undertook two 60-min sessions of multicomponent training per week for 12 weeks. Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, thoracoabdominal expansion, the 6-min walk test, and the five times sit-to-stand test were measured. The study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee, with the consent of all participants.
Results:
We observed effects on MIP and MEP over this time in both groups. Other variables did not present effects for time, group, or interaction.
Conclusion:
12 weeks of training with both combinations of multicomponent training increased respiratory muscle strength in individuals with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease.
