Dependent variables data, mean (LL-UL) at baseline and postintervention, paired -test values, and Cohen’s values.

Variables	Mean (LL-UL)		value	value	Cohen’s

Chest expansion (cm) (T4)	2.4 (2.0-2.7)	2.6 (2.3-2.9)	-5.614	<0.001	1.00
Chest expansion (cm) (T10)	2.5 (2.2-2.8)	2.7 (2.5-2.98)	-4.772	<0.001	1.00

Significant (). LL: lower limit; UL: upper limit; MIP: maximum inspiratory pressure; T4: fourth thoracic vertebra; T10: tenth thoracic vertebra.
