Primary outcomePrimary: Pneumonia — 70 Participants
Summary
The investigators conducting this study to investigate the relation between the respiratory muscle strength and respiratory complications. To understand more about respiratory complications the influence of different factors (such as in- and expiratory muscle strength, lung function parameters, physical activity, smoking, medications,…) on respiratory complications (such as pneumonia) will be investigated.
