NCT ID NCT07595328
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether warming up your breathing muscles before a 100-meter swim can improve your time. About 52 trained swimmers will try four different breathing warm-up intensities and then swim as fast as they can. The goal is to find the best breathing warm-up to help swimmers perform better.
