Summary

This study looks at whether a special breathing exercise (threshold inspiratory muscle training) can make the diaphragm thicker and move better in people with stable COPD. Fifteen participants aged 40-59 with moderate COPD will do the training. The goal is to see if this exercise improves breathing muscle function, which could help ease symptoms.
