| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sixty-five community-dwelling older adults were assessed cough strength, respiratory function, physical performance, and physical activity. Significant associations of the cough strength with the forced vital capacity and inspiratory muscle strength were found. In addition, 60 community-dwelling older adults were divided into three groups to investigate the effect of an inspiratory muscle training and peak flow training on cough strength. The result of increases in the cough strength in the peak flow training group indicates that a four-week home-based peak flow training may be effective for an improvement of cough strength in community-dwelling older adults.
