Coherence Breathing Before Exercise Testing

This study is looking at whether a special type of breathing, called Coherence Breathing, can affect how your body responds to exercise. Participants will do 5 minutes of guided Coherence Breathing (breathing in for 5 seconds and out for 5 seconds) or 5 minutes of regular, quiet breathing. Afterwards, you'll do a maximal exercise test on a treadmill. Researchers will measure your peak oxygen consumption to see if Coherence Breathing makes a difference. You can join if you are an adult between 19 and 45 years old, recreationally active, and can do treadmill exercise. The study aims to enroll 20 people, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study with 20 planned participants. It uses a randomized crossover design, meaning you will try both breathing conditions in a random order.
What's involved
You will complete two experimental conditions, separated by at least 48 hours. Each condition involves 5 minutes of breathing, followed by a treadmill warm-up and a maximal exercise test.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Peak oxygen consumption is measured immediately after each breathing condition and maximal exercise test.
