NCT ID NCT07257783
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether combining Buteyko breathing exercises with balance training could improve how well young smokers' bodies use oxygen during exercise. Forty-six male smokers aged 18-30 took part; half did the exercises for 6 weeks, while the other half did nothing. The results showed that the exercise group had better oxygen use and lung function compared to the control group.
