First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study looks at how different breathing patterns during strength exercises change eye pressure and blood flow in the retina. Sixty healthy adults aged 18-40 will perform exercises with normal breathing or a breath-holding technique called the Valsalva maneuver. Researchers will measure eye pressure, retinal vessel size, and other health markers before and after exercise to find the safest way to train.
