(Maximal inspiratory pressure MIP, is also referred to as Pi_max)—Maximal inspiratory pressure is a parameter of respiratory muscle strength.

A parameter of respiratory muscle endurance. It is defined as the time to onset of respiratory pump fatigue (muscle fatigue) during exercise breathing against a given inspiratory resistance.

(Stenosis = narrowing)—Stenosis breathing is the difficult inhalation and exhalation due to a narrowing of the upper airways.

Shortness of breath, pronounced shortness of breath
