Comparison between respiratory muscle strength in sedentary and active elderly. A Transversal Study

Comparison between respiratory muscle strength in sedentary and active elderly. A Transversal Study

<em>Aging results in decreased respiratory muscle strength and physical activity can minimize this effect. The aim of this study was to analyze if the strength of respiratory muscles differs between sedentary and active elderly. The sample consisted of 16 subjects divided in active and inactiv...
