Inspiratory muscle training will be conducted using a pressure threshold loading device (Threshold Inspiratory Muscle Training, Respironics, Pittsburg, PA, USA). By using a spring-loaded one-way valve, this device provides air flow-independent resistance to inspiration at a detectable intensity. Patients will start training with a MIP of 40%. The intensity of training will be adjusted every week based on MIP measurement.
Warm-up and cool-down periods of 5 minutes each in addition to light aerobic activity will be performed by patients in both groups. Aerobic exercise training will be done through selected activities for 30 minutes /3 times per week for 8 weeks.
