The objective of this study was to compare respiratory muscle strength in healthy elderly exercise practitioners in two media, soil and water. The sample consisted of 20 elderly of both genders, who were divided into two groups, GS (Soil Group) and GA (Water Group). The maximal inspiratory pressures (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressures (MEP) were evaluated using the manual manometer instrument. The results showed no significant changes in the respiratory muscles of both groups.
