The Effects of Respiratory Muscle Training on Resting-State Brain Activity and Thoracic Mobility in Healthy Subjects: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is an effective intervention for improving breath perception. The results of this study showed that IMT enhanced respiratory muscle strength and caused significant brain changes in the DMN and insula networks assessed by RS-fMRI in healthy subjects.   figure1:(Above) DMN activation maps are shown (in neurologic convention) in groups separately before […]
