Differential effects of inspiratory muscle training on diaphragm thickness and exercise tolerance in childhood cancer survivors and non-cancer controls

< 0.05 for all). Thus, we provide preliminary findings suggesting that there might have been differences in the response to training due to cancer treatment-related late effects in CCS. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution given the exploratory nature of our study. Nonetheless, the overall positive benefits of IMT on the respiratory muscles support its potential clinical utility in CCS.
