NCT ID NCT07529834
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding Pilates breathing or diaphragmatic breathing to moderate cycling can improve blood pressure, chest expansion, lung function, and quality of life in people with hypertension. 45 adults aged 20–55 with stage 1 or 2 high blood pressure will be split into three groups: cycling plus Pilates breathing, cycling plus diaphragmatic breathing, or cycling alone. All will train three times a week for six weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Pilates breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, and moderate-intensity continuous cycling training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to better manage blood pressure and breathing in people with hypertension.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The breathing exercises add only a modest extra benefit to standard cycling.
