Read our Asthma research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether balloon-blowing exercises performed in a special 90/90 bridge position with a ball can help improve lung function in people with asthma. The study compares this new exercise approach to a standard breathing technique called Buteyko breathing. Researchers believe that strengthening the breathing muscle (diaphragm) and core muscles may help reduce asthma symptoms and improve how well your lungs work.
Asthma attacks can weaken the main breathing muscle and core muscles over time, making breathing harder. This trial exists to see if a targeted exercise program can rebuild strength in these muscles and help people with asthma breathe better and feel better day-to-day.

If you join this study, you will attend three supervised exercise sessions per week for four weeks at a clinic or research facility. In each session, a physiotherapist will guide you through balloon-blowing exercises while you lie on your back with your legs positioned against a wall and a ball between your knees. The sessions will include breathing exercises, and your progress will be checked regularly. You may also be asked to answer questions about your breathing and quality of life before and after the program.
