Objective: to analyze the effects of Inspiratory Muscular Training on the swallowing of subjects with bronchiectasis. Method: unblinded randomized experimental clinical trial. Participants performed clinical evaluation of swallowing, videofluoroscopy and manovacuometry. The sample was divided into two groups, the control group who realized conventional respiratory physiotherapy and a study group that associated this whit the inspiratory muscle training with POWERbreathe. Results: elavuated 11 individuals with bronchiectasis, most of them with normal swallowing (63.6%), middle-aged adults (54.5%) female (72.7%). There was good agreement among the judges who analyzed the biomechanics of swallowing before and after the interventions. In both groups the IPmax was higher after intervention (P = 0.007). However, IPmax was higher in the study group in relation to the control group (P = 0.034). There was improvement in both groups in some variables, such as delay in the beginning of the pharyngeal phase and residues in valleculae, although without statistical significance. Conclusion: inspiratory muscle training did not have significant effects on the biomechanics of swallowing.
