Introduction: Previous studies point to IMT as an effective method of treating patients with COPD. However, the literature is still unclear when using IMT in asthmatic individuals. Methodology: The present study is a randomized controlled trial. We included 21 individuals with confirmed diagnosis of asthma between the ages of 18 and 60 years. The IMT was performed at home, using the POWERbreathe device. Both groups performed 30 inspiratory treatments, twice a day, 5 days a week, for 6 consecutive weeks. The C15% individuals performed the IMT with 15% of the MIP, while the individuals of the C50% group performed sessions with 50% of the MIP. Results: The IMT performed with 50% of the MIP promoted force gain at the final of the fourth week. In the C15% group there was no significant increase in MIP during the training weeks. Conclusion: The C15% group had a 10% increase in the MIP value, but statistically insignificant. This result was possibly due to the low value of the load used. The training group (C50%) showed a significant improvement in the MIP values ​​starting from the fourth week of intervention. The increase was 24% (P <0.05). The data observed in the present study corroborate previous findings about IMT in individuals with asthma. Where a significant improvement of the MIP values ​​was demonstrated after the intervention protocol.
