Could Water-Based breathing drills make young swimmers faster?
NCT ID NCT07493837
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether training the breathing muscles (using a PowerBreathe device) on land or in water can improve swimming performance in 30 competitive swimmers aged 13-18. Participants train 5 days a week for 4 weeks, and researchers measure lung function, stroke rate, and 100m/200m swim times. The goal is to see if water-based training better mimics real swimming demands.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
PowerBreathe device for inspiratory muscle training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that water-based breathing training improves swim performance more than land-based training.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all swimmers. The training is short (4 weeks), and benefits may be modest.
