Summary

This study looks at whether combat sport athletes (like boxers and judo fighters) have dysfunctional breathing patterns that hurt their core stability and balance. Researchers will test if a single session of diaphragmatic breathing retraining can improve breathing, diaphragm function, core endurance, agility, and postural control. The trial involves 60 athletes aged 18-50 with at least 2 years of training experience.
