Breathing exercises may give kickboxers an edge
NCT ID NCT07481916
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether warming up the breathing muscles can help combat athletes perform better and feel less tired. Twenty young kickboxers and Muay Thai athletes (ages 15-22) will try a special breathing warm-up, a fake version, and a regular warm-up. Researchers will measure their lung function, heart rate, and how well they do on a kickboxing fitness test.
