Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training for Lowering Systolic Blood Pressure in Midlife and Older Adults with Chronic Kidney Disease
Participants will be instructed in inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) during baseline and will be evaluated during a 3 month period to see the effects of the device on systolic blood pressure. There will be a "placebo" arm. Participants will not know which arm they are in.
