Effects of High-Resistance Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training on Cardiorenal and Vascular Function in Youth and Young Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

IMST

What is the goal of the study?

High-resistance, short-duration inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) is a novel lifestyle intervention involving 30 inhalations against a resistive load which requires only ~5 min/day and is thus ideal for youth with T2D (Y-T2D). We seek to 1: assess changes in casual and 24-hr SBP, endothelial function, and arterial stiffness after 3 months of IMST vs. sham training in Y-T2D, 2: Define changes in eGFR andalbuminuria after 3 months of IMST vs. sham in Y-T2D, 3: Interrogate mechanisms of IMST by translational assessments of NO bioavailability, endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activation, and ROS/oxidative stress, and determine the role of circulating factors.
