Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether isometric (static) or isotonic (dynamic) trunk exercises better improve lung function in heavy smokers. 90 smokers aged 20-45 who smoked at least 20 cigarettes daily did either planks and static bridges or sit-ups and Russian twists three times a week. The goal was to see if strengthening core muscles could help breathing.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
trunk muscle strength training (isometric and isotonic exercises)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple exercise program to help heavy smokers improve their lung function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with no phase designation. The results may not apply to all smokers, and exercise alone cannot reverse smoking damage.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
