There is a need for long-term sustainable studies that will increase the potential health benefits in hemodialysis patients. Inspiratory muscle training, one of the recommended treatments to increase exercise capacity and quality of life during dialysis treatment in people with chronic renal failure, is a method that can be applied intradialytically, in addition to being easy to apply, cheap and sustainable. It improves functional capacity by increasing respiratory muscle strength. In this context, our study aims to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training on functional parameters and on hemodialysis patients with a personalized portable device and to add it to the literature.
