Summary

This study tested whether fun, animation-based breathing exercises can improve physical and mental health in 130 school children aged 8 to 12. Kids followed guided breathing videos, and researchers measured chest expansion, cough strength, walking speed, stress levels, and attention. The goal was to see if this simple, no-drug approach could help children manage stress and improve breathing in a school setting.
