Abstract

Background: Many people recovering from COVID-19 experience prolonged symptoms, particularly breathlessness. We urgently need to identify safe and effective COVID-19 rehabilitative strategies. The aim of the current study was to investigate the potential rehabilitative role of inspiratory muscle tra...

We urgently need to identify safe and effective COVID-19 rehabilitative strategies. The aim of the current study was to investigate the potential rehabilitative role of inspiratory muscle training (IMT).Methods: 281 adults (46.6&#xB1;12.2 years; 88% female) recovering from self-reported COVID-19 (9.0&#xB1;4.2 months post-acute infection) were randomized 4:1 to an eight-week IMT or a &#x201C;usual care&#x201D; wait list control arm. Health-related quality of life and breathlessness questionnaires (King&#x2019;s Brief Interstitial Lung Disease (KBILD) and Transition Dyspnoea Index (TDI)), respiratory muscle strength and fitness (Chester Step Test) were assessed pre- and post-intervention. The primary endpoint was KBILD total score, with the KBILD subdomains and TDI being key secondary outcomes. Results: According to intention to treat (ITT), there was no difference between groups in KBILD total score post-intervention (Control: 59.5&#xB1;12.4; IMT: 58.2&#xB1;12.3; P&lt;0.05) but IMT elicited clinically meaningful improvements in the KBILD subdomains of breathlessness (Control: 59.8&#xB1;12.6; IMT: 62.2&#xB1;16.2; P&lt;0.05) and chest symptoms (Control: 59.2&#xB1;18.7; IMT: 64.5&#xB1;18.2; P&lt;0.05), along with clinically meaningful improvements in breathlessness according to TDI (Control: 0.9 &#xB1; 1.7 vs. 2.0 &#xB1; 2.0; P&lt;0.05). IMT also improved respiratory muscle strength and estimated aerobic fitness. Conclusions: IMT may represent an important home-based rehabilitation strategy for wider implementation as part of COVID-19 rehabilitative strategies. Given the diverse nature of long-COVID, further research is warranted on the individual responses to rehabilitation - the withdrawal rate herein highlights that no one strategy is likely to be appropriate for all.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>European Respiratory Journal</journal><volume>60</volume><journalNumber>6</journalNumber><paginationStart>2103101</paginationStart><paginationEnd/><publisher>European Respiratory Society (ERS)</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint>0903-1936</issnPrint><issnElectronic>1399-3003</issnElectronic><keywords>Long COVID; breathlessness; dyspnoea; fitness; physical activity; post-COVID; quality of life</keywords><publishedDay>2</publishedDay><publishedMonth>3</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2022</publishedYear><publishedDate>2022-03-02</publishedDate><doi>10.1183/13993003.03101-2021</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Sport and Exercise Sciences</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>STSC</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm/><funders/><projectreference/><lastEdited>2023-01-04T14:27:00.3279250</lastEdited><Created>2022-02-16T09:00:54.6834225</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Science and Engineering</level><level id="2">School of Engineering and Applied Sciences - Uncategorised</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Melitta</firstname><surname>McNarry</surname><orcid>0000-0003-0813-7477</orcid><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Ronan M G</firstname><surname>Berg</surname><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>James</firstname><surname>Shelley</surname><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Joanne</firstname><surname>Hudson</surname><orcid>0000-0003-4732-8356</orcid><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>Zoe L</firstname><surname>Saynor</surname><order>5</order></author><author><firstname>Jamie</firstname><surname>Duckers</surname><orcid>0000-0003-3004-279x</orcid><order>6</order></author><author><firstname>Keir</firstname><surname>Lewis</surname><order>7</order></author><author><firstname>Gwyneth</firstname><surname>Davies</surname><orcid>0000-0003-1218-1008</orcid><order>8</order></author><author><firstname>Kelly</firstname><surname>Mackintosh</surname><orcid>0000-0003-0355-6357</orcid><order>9</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>59407__23843__b6762f5ae76442bcb54884a920932e13.pdf</filename><originalFilename>59407 with licence.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2022-04-13T17:11:29.2202830</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>817093</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Accepted Manuscript</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>Copyright &#xA9;The authors 2022.
