Clinical Trial: Acute Effects of Breathing Resistance During Exercise in Football Players

U.S., Oct. 31 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07907510) titled 'Acute Effects of Breathing Resistance During Exercise in Football Players' on Oct. 24.

Brief Summary: This randomized crossover study will examine the immediate effects of breathing resistance during exercise in 35 active football players aged 18-30 years. Each participant will perform the same football-related field tests under two conditions: wearing an exercise mask that adds mechanical resistance to breathing, and without the mask. The order will be randomized, with at least 72 hours between sessions. Respiratory muscle strength will be assessed before and after exercise using maximal inspiratory and expiratory mouth pressures. ...
