Comparing land and water breathing muscle training in young swimmers
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of training the muscles you use to breathe—either on land or in water—to see which helps young swimmers improve their swimming performance. It may help you breathe more easily and swim faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a competitive swimmer between 13 and 18 years old.
- You have been swimming regularly for at least 2 years.
- You currently train about 20 hours per week in the pool and 8 hours on land.
- You are healthy enough to do swimming and breathing muscle training.
- You do not have any heart, lung, nerve, or muscle problems that affect exercise.
- You do not have a cold or chest infection right now, and you are not taking medicine that affects your breathing or exercise.

This study tests whether a special breathing-exercise program can improve how well swimmers' lungs work and their swimming performance. Researchers will teach swimmers techniques to strengthen the muscles used for breathing and measure how it affects their ability to swim.
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 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.
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 trial compares different types of breathing muscle exercises for people with COPD. It aims to find which training is most helpful for improving breathing and daily life.
