The RM endurance was measured using a two-minute incremental threshold loading test. The max load, the average Ppk as %MIP at max load and the Pmean at max load were taken as measures of respiratory muscle endurance. The MIP, but not MEP, was less in COPD patients than in normal subjects (p<O.O5). There was a small increase in between visits, in MIP in the normal subjects.
