First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a simple balloon-blowing exercise, combined with deep breathing, could increase oxygen levels in people with mild to moderate COPD. 46 adults performed the exercises twice daily for 7 days. The results showed that those who did both balloon blowing and deep breathing had better oxygen saturation than those who only did deep breathing.
