Summary

This study looks at whether an 8-week breathing exercise program can improve respiratory muscle function in frail adults aged 80 and older. Participants are randomly assigned to either a real training group or a sham (fake) group. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost exercise can help older adults breathe easier and stay healthier.
