Breathing and core training may give young soccer stars an edge
NCT ID NCT07657065
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding core stability exercises and inspiratory muscle training (using a breathing device) to regular soccer practice improves muscle oxygenation and athletic performance in 54 male soccer players aged 15-18. Over 8 weeks, players will be split into three groups: one doing core training, one doing core plus breathing training, and a control group. Researchers will measure aerobic capacity, sprint speed, agility, and muscle oxygen levels to see if these extra exercises make a difference.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that adding core and breathing exercises to regular soccer practice boosts endurance and performance in young athletes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. The training is extra work and may not lead to big improvements.
