Training program of the respiratory muscles in endurance by using sustained isocapnic hyperpnea
Training program of the inspiratory muscles in resistance by using repeated inspiratory maneuvers against a resistance

Respiratory muscle endurance
Total breathing duration (in min) measured during an incremental hyperpnea test
Time frame: Change from baseline (i.e. T0) measured immediately after the 8 weeks of intervention (T1)
Respiratory muscle strength
Peak pressure (in mmHg) during maximal inspiratory and expiratory maneuvers
Time frame: Change from baseline (i.e. T0) measured immediately after the 8 weeks of intervention (T1)
Maximal cycling performance
Peak maximal power output (in W) during an incremental cycling test
Time frame: Change from baseline (i.e. T0) measured immediately after the 8 weeks of intervention (T1)
Quality of life of patients after the intervention
Score obtained during the questionnaire CQF14+
Time frame: Change from baseline (i.e. T0) measured immediately after the 8 weeks of intervention (T1)
