Sham inspiratory isometric resistance training with the Threshold Inspiratory Muscle Trainer (IMT) plus oral placebo orally for eight weeks

0.25 micrograms, taken daily for eight weeks, orally

1,25 (OH)2 D3

A small hand-held reusable device to increase muscle strength and endurance through inhalation therapy. Participants will inhale through a valve which provides resistance that increases the work of breathing and exercises the respiratory muscles.Participants in the active groups will breathe against a resistance set to generate 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax).

Inspiratory isometric resistance training

Placebo will be created to mimic the appearance of the study drug

Oral Placebo

A small hand-held reusable device to increase muscle strength and endurance through inhalation therapy. Participants will inhale through a valve which provides resistance that increases the work of breathing and exercises the respiratory muscles. Participants in the sham group will train daily against a resistance set to only 15% PImax.

Resistance Training and 1,25 (OH)2D3 Administration to Maintain Respiratory Muscle Function and Reduce Pneumonia Risk in Cancer Patients

SNIP is a test of maximal inspiratory muscle force exerting from the diaphram. Patients sniff forcefully through one nostril while the other is obstructed. The best of 10 measurements is recorded.
