This study aim to evaluate inspiratory muscle training in the elderly with weaning from mechanical ventilation in the last five years. The literature review was carried out through publications indexed in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) database: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PUBMED), Controlled Trials database (COCHRANE) and Physiotherapy evidence database (PEDro). To organize the study, the criteria of the systematic review were followed. After evaluation, five articles were selected that fit the study criteria. The articles included in the review presented methodological rigor in all inspiratory muscle training protocols used, not all of which were specific to the elderly, but the mean age of the participants in all studies was above 60 years of age, with a variation between 60 and 81 years. This systematic review evidenced the importance of inspiratory muscle training in the elderly, assisting in the weaning of mechanical ventilation.
