Patients will be submitted to a 8-weeks training program, with inspiratory muscle trained at 30% of the maximal inspiratory pressure (30 minutes/session/7 days/week) and peripheral muscle trained with upper and lower exercises (50% of the 1-maximum repetition test).
Patients will be submited to a 8 weeks training program, with inspiratory muscle trained at 15% of the maximal inspiratory pressure (30 minutes/session/7 days/week) and peripheral muscle trained with exercises of upper limbs and lower limbs (0,5 Kg each).
