In order to evaluate the possible effects of respiratory muscle training in patients with neuromuscular disease, we trained a group of 12 patients and 6 normal subjects for 8 weeks with 4 weeks of strength training and 4 weeks of endurance training of the respiratory muscles. We measured static and dynamic lung volumes and maximal expiratory flows in a whole-body plethysmograph and endurance in an original set-up. The main finding was a significant rise in vital capacity and respiratory muscle endurance in the patient group; therefore, daily specific training of the respiratory muscles can improve strength and endurance in patients with neuromuscular diseases as well as in normal subjects.
为了评估呼吸肌训练对神经肌肉疾病患者可能产生的影响，我们对一组12名患者和6名正常受试者进行了为期8周的训练，其中包括4周的呼吸肌力量训练和4周的呼吸肌耐力训练。我们在全身体积描记器中测量了静态和动态肺容量以及最大呼气流量，并在一个原始装置中测量了耐力。主要发现是患者组的肺活量和呼吸肌耐力显著增加；因此，对呼吸肌进行日常的特定训练可以提高神经肌肉疾病患者以及正常受试者的力量和耐力。
