Summary
This study looks at whether a set of five breathing exercises can improve lung function and breathing muscle strength in older adults aged 60-75 who are not very active. The exercises include using a device for resisted inhalation and blowing up balloons. Researchers will measure lung capacity, chest expansion, and shortness of breath. The goal is to find a safe, easy way to help seniors maintain healthy breathing.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help older adults breathe easier and stay active.
