Breathe easy: study tests if adding breathing drills to workouts boosts lung power

NCT ID NCT07232329

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at whether doing synchronized breathing exercises along with aerobic exercise can improve lung function more than aerobic exercise alone. Researchers divided 45 healthy university students into three groups: one did aerobic exercise, one did both breathing and aerobic exercise, and one was a control group. The goal was to see if the combination had a greater impact on breathing tests.
