Breathing muscle warm-up and lung function in athletes
This study tests whether warming up the breathing muscles before exercise can improve how well your lungs take in oxygen. It is for young athletes who train regularly and may help them perform better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks if warming up the muscles you use to breathe (called 'inspiratory muscles') can help prevent a temporary drop in lung function that often happens after intense exercise in athletes. If you're a young athlete, this might help you improve recovery and performance.
This study looks at whether warming up your breathing muscles before exercise can help make them stronger during both fast, explosive workouts (like sprinting) and longer, steady endurance exercise (like jogging). It might be a good option for young athletes who want to see if a simple warm-up can boost their performance.
This study tests whether warming up the muscles you use to breathe can improve your swimming performance. You will be asked to do a 100-meter swim test twice, once after a special breathing warm-up and once without it.
This study tests whether a special breathing warm-up can help combat athletes perform better. If you are a young, experienced kickboxer or Muay Thai fighter, this trial may be for you.
This trial tests a breathing muscle exercise to see if it can improve performance in elite volleyball players. It looks at how this training affects breathing and athletic ability.
This study tests whether a breathing muscle training program (using an app) can improve endurance in healthy cyclists and triathletes. If you are a competitive road cyclist or triathlete, this might help you learn more about your breathing and performance.
