NCT ID NCT07445269
First seen Mar 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a special breathing warm-up can temporarily strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, helping athletes during exercise. About 28 trained athletes aged 14-30 will try three conditions: a breathing warm-up, a fake warm-up, and no warm-up. Researchers will measure breathing muscle strength before, during, and after treadmill running to see how long any benefit lasts.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple pre-exercise breathing routine to help athletes perform better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 28 athletes. The placebo effect may explain any benefits, and results may not apply to all sports or non-athletes.
