Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

Sponsor: Florida State University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Adults with type 1 diabetes have elevated cardiovascular disease risk, and systolic blood pressure is a leading modifiable contributor to that risk. Aerobic exercise lowers blood pressure but poses time and glycemic-management barriers for people with type 1 diabetes. Inspiratory muscle strength training is a brief, home-based, device-based intervention that takes about five minutes per day and has lowered systolic blood pressure in other adult populations. This pilot trial will test whether eight weeks of daily high-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training lowers blood pressure and improves vascular function in adults with type 1 diabetes. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to high-resistance or very-low-resistance sham training using a POWERbreathe K3 device and will complete 30 training breaths per day at home for eight weeks. Outcomes are assessed before and after the training period.

Interventions

DEVICE

High-Resistance Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training

Daily home-based inspiratory muscle strength training using a POWERbreathe K3 device for eight weeks, at 55% of maximal inspiratory pressure during weeks 1-2, 65% during weeks 3-4, and 75% during weeks 5-8. Maximal inspiratory pressure is re-measured at weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 and resistance is adjusted accordingly.

DEVICE

Sham Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training

Daily home-based inspiratory muscle strength training using a POWERbreathe K3 device for eight weeks, at 15% of maximal inspiratory pressure throughout.
