IMST pro snížení rizika demence
Randomizovaná kontrolovaná pilotní studie tréninku síly inspiračních svalů (IMST) ke snížení rizika demence u starších dospělých
Using a 2-arm, RCT approach, the primary goal of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST) as a non-pharmacologic intervention to reduce cardiovascular and cognitive risks in older adults. Next, investigators will examine secondary effects of IMST on mood, sleep quality, systemic inflammation, and physical/motor function. Finally, investigators will assess participant adherence and acceptability ratings of using an 8-week home-based IMST protocol in a diverse older adult sample.

Detailní popis
This is a 2-arm randomized pilot trial (N=30), including adults aged 60-80 years of age with cardiovascular risks for dementia. Participants will complete assessments prior to beginning the study, each week during the intervention, and at the conclusion of the 8-week intervention. Participants in the experimental group will complete daily high-resistance IMST training (e.g., 75% maximal inspiratory pressure), and participants in the sham condition will complete IMST training at 15% maximal inspiratory pressure. Investigators hypothesize the following: Hypothesis 1: Participants in the high-resistance IMST group will show greater reductions in systolic blood pressure and other vascular health indicators compared to those in the sham IMST group after 8 weeks.
Hypothesis 2: Participants in the high-resistance IMST group will demonstrate greater improvements in executive cognitive function than those in the sham group.
Hypothesis 3: IMST will lead to secondary improvements in mood (reduced depression and anxiety symptoms), better sleep quality (as measured by self-report and actigraphy), and improved physical function (e.g., grip strength, gait speed).
Hypothesis 4: The IMST protocol will be feasible and acceptable, with at least 80% adherence to prescribed training sessions over the 8-week period.

Experimentální: High-Resistance
Participants assigned to the high resistance arm will complete inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) using a handheld respiratory training device set to 75% of their maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). Participants will follow the IMST training regimen for the duration of the intervention period, 8-weeks, consisting of 30 breaths per day, completed in a minimum of 5 minutes. |
Investigators will use POWERbreathe® Electronic IMST devices and manually set them to 75% of an individual's IPpeak, depending on their randomization, to the high-resistance IMST group or very low-resistance IMST (sham) group. All participants will complete 30 training breaths per day at home for 8 weeks. |

Change in systolic BP
Časové okno: Baseline, 8-weeks
|
Participants will demonstrate a change in systolic blood pressure (mmHg), assessed as the average of two seated measurements obtained following two consecutive 5-minute rest periods, from baseline to post-intervention. |
Baseline, 8-weeks

Change in executive cognitive functioning
Časové okno: Baseline, 8 weeks
|
Participants will demonstrate a change in executive cognitive functioning, assessed using the Fluid Composite Score from the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery. The Fluid Composite Score is derived from tasks assessing executive function, attention, working memory, episodic memory, and processing speed. Change in executive cognitive functioning will be evaluated as the difference in Fluid Composite Scores from baseline to post-intervention. |
