The NIH-funded project will study the relationship between obesity and cerebrovascular function in young adults and test whether inspiratory muscle strength training can improve vascular function and potentially affect inflammation.
Description
Research assessing cerebrovascular function in otherwise healthy young adults with and without obesity, and whether eight weeks of inspiratory muscle strength training improves cerebrovascular function and has immunomodulatory effects in adults with obesity.
