The aim of this study is to examine the effects of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory functions, functional capacity, fatigue and quality of life in pediatric cancer patients who have recently completed treatment. A total of 27 patients were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups as Training and Control groups. After the initial evaluation of all patients, they were included in an 8-week inspiratory muscle training program. The final evaluation was made at the end of 8 weeks. According to the final evaluations, it was found that there was a statistical increase in favor of the Training group on Maximal Inspiratory Pressure, 6 Minute Walking Test, Quality of Life and Fatigue.
