Summary
This study tests whether 5 weeks of breathing endurance training using a special device can reduce breathlessness and improve exercise performance in healthy athletes. Researchers will compare real training to a sham version in 32 cyclists or triathletes. The goal is to understand how breathing exercises affect the brain and muscles, which could later help people with lung problems.

Active substance
respiratory muscle endurance training using the BreathWayBetter device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help personalize breathing training for athletes and people with lung conditions, improving exercise tolerance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study in healthy adults only, so results may not apply to patients. The sham group may also show some benefit, making it hard to prove the real effect.
