NCT ID NCT07390721
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether putting elastic tape on the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) before high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve fitness. Thirty trained adults will do an 8-week cycling program, with half also getting the tape. Researchers will measure changes in aerobic capacity, anaerobic power, and balance to see if the tape adds any benefit.
