Which of the following statements about the AEROBIKA device is true?

• It is primarily for aerobic conditioning

• It is used for inspiratory muscle training

• It helps clear excess mucus from the airways

• It requires a pressurized gas source

What is a contraindication for using the AEROBIKA device?

• Chronic cough

• Recent facial surgery

• Bronchitis

• Asthma

What is the mechanism of action for Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy?

• It generates pressures during expiration

• It reduces respiratory rate

• It increases oxygen intake

• It enhances muscle contraction

How can RMT benefit athletes and performers?

• By reducing fatigue

• By increasing flexibility

• By enhancing respiratory efficiency

• By improving muscle mass
