Breathing Training for Competitive Swimmers
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You swim at least twice a week, 30+ minutes per session, for the past 3 months
- You have no current or past lung or respiratory disease (like asthma, COPD, or emphysema)
- You have no bone, muscle, or joint injuries that would prevent you from swimming 100 meters
- You have not done breathing-muscle training programs in the last 6 months

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.
This study tests whether warming up your breathing muscles before swimming helps you swim faster and perform better. Researchers will compare swimmers who do a breathing warm-up to those who don't.
This study tests whether strengthening your breathing muscles with a special device can improve your breathing and daily function. It is for people with chronic heart failure who are stable on their current medications and have not been hospitalized recently.
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 study tests whether training your breathing muscles can improve lung function and strength in people aged 80+. Researchers will teach you simple breathing exercises and measure how your lungs and breathing muscles respond over time.
This trial tests a special breathing exercise program for people with heart failure. It aims to see if strengthening your breathing muscles can help you feel better and be more active.
