Summary

This study tested two types of breathing exercises—diaphragmatic breathing and pursed-lip breathing—in 60 Egyptian adults with mild to moderate asthma. Participants did the exercises for 20 minutes twice a day, five days a week, for eight weeks. The goal was to see if these exercises could improve lung function and chest expansion. The study compared the two methods to find out which one works better.
