First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether doing special breathing and chest exercises can improve memory, focus, mood, and posture in healthy adults aged 18 to 30. About 60 participants will be assigned to either a breathing exercise group or a control group. The goal is to learn how these exercises affect the brain and body, not to treat any disease.
