First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether using a breathing training device (PowerBreathe) for four weeks could improve lung function, attention, and anxiety in 28 healthy female athletes aged 18–23. Participants were split into three groups: one used the device at a resistance level, another used a sham device, and a third did no training. The study measured breathing strength, lung capacity, heart rate, attention, anxiety, and motivation before and after training.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
PowerBreathe inspiratory muscle training device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple way for female athletes to improve breathing strength, focus, and reduce anxiety.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study in healthy volunteers, not patients. The sham group also received some training, so benefits may not be due to the device alone.
