Small breath tester could replace bulky exercise machines
NCT ID NCT07326449
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks if a small, portable device can reliably measure carbon dioxide in exhaled breath during rest and light cycling, compared to the standard large machine. Twenty healthy adults will do two exercise tests weeks apart. The goal is to see if the portable tool gives consistent results over time and matches the standard method.
