Respiratory muscle strength is the maximal pressure generated during an inspiration or expiration against an occluded airway, and it is evaluated by means of the maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures. This study aimed to compare the values of maximal respiratory pressures measured in sedentary young adults to the values predicted by the literature. The research had the participation of 35 sedentary young adults, aged between 20 and 30 years. The maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) were measured by using an analog mano vacuum meter, a flattened mouthpiece, and a nose clip. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), short version, was used to determine the physical activity level. The statistical analysis was performed through Wilcoxon’s test for data on women and paired t-Student test for men, at 5% significance level. The results showed a significant difference between the values measured for MEP and the values predicted by the Brazilian reference equation for men ( p value = 0.0409) and women ( p value < 0.0001). The equation used underestimated the values of MEP for both sexes. The need for further multicenter studies was found out, with a larger sample, in order to determine more accurate reference values for the various Brazilian populations.
