Summary

This study looked at whether training the muscles you use to breathe in could help tennis players with shoulder pain. 40 adult tennis players with non-specific shoulder pain were split into two groups: one did special breathing exercises for 8 weeks, and the other did not. The researchers measured diaphragm thickness, breathing strength, and shoulder pain before and after the training to see if the breathing exercises made a difference.
