This study tests whether combining special breathing techniques (Pilates and diaphragmatic breathing) with moderate cycling exercise can help lower blood pressure and improve lung function in people with high blood pressure. You'll practice these techniques over several weeks to see if they reduce your blood pressure more effectively than exercise alone.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises that alternate between low and high oxygen levels can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their condition better. Researchers want to see if short or longer courses of this training improve blood sugar control and overall health.
This trial tests a hands-on breathing technique to see if it can improve exercise capacity and sleep quality in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help you breathe better, move more easily, and sleep more soundly.
This study tests if a special breathing exercise program (strengthening your breathing muscles) can improve heart, kidney, and blood vessel health in young people with type 2 diabetes. It is a 12-week home-based program that might help your body work better.
This study looks at how adding special breathing exercises to your regular Pilates routine might improve your workout. If you already do equipment-based Pilates, you may be able to join and help researchers learn how breathing affects your results.
This study tests whether a breathing exercise device can make your breathing muscles stronger, which might improve blood sugar control and overall health for people with type 1 diabetes. You would use the device at home and visit the study team for checkups.
