Breathing exercise study for healthy young adults
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares three different exercise methods to see which one best strengthens your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and improves your overall breathing. If you are a healthy young adult, you might help find better ways to improve breathing fitness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your BMI is between 18.5 and 29.9, which is in the normal to overweight range.
- You do not smoke or vape.
- You have not done structured respiratory muscle training (like using breathing training devices) in the past 6 months.
- You are generally healthy and do not have heart, lung, nerve, or metabolic diseases.
- You have not had a respiratory infection or symptoms in the last 2-3 weeks.
- You have not had major abdominal or chest surgery in the last 6 months.

This study tests whether a special breathing exercise device can help basketball players' diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) recover faster after exercise. It may improve breathing efficiency and athletic performance.
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
This study tests whether a simple breathing exercise (strengthening the muscles you use to inhale) can improve your overall health. It may help healthy people, people with obesity, or those with type 2 diabetes feel better.
This study tests whether a breathing device training program can improve breathing and blood pressure. It may help people who have higher blood pressure and may feel out of breath, especially those who have weight-related breathing strain.
This study tests if a special breathing retraining program helps combat athletes who have trouble breathing properly during sport. It may improve how well you move and perform.
This trial tests whether simple diaphragmatic breathing exercises can improve pain, breathing discomfort, posture, body awareness, anxiety, and depression in healthy young adults. If you're generally healthy and not already doing regular breathing or posture exercises, you may qualify.
