What this study is about
This trial is testing whether inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) can lower blood pressure and improve endothelial function in postmenopausal women. This treatment aims to provide a more convenient alternative to standard aerobic exercise, which has limited effectiveness in this population.
Simplified from trial records by PatientMatch.
What you may be asked to do
- 1.Aerobic exercise
- 2.High-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training
