These demands may be related not only to strength and conditioning, but also to the coordination between breathing and postural control. The diaphragm is the main muscle for breathing and also contributes to trunk stability through its role in pressure regulation and deep core control. However, dysfunctional breathing patterns, such as upper-chest dominant breathing, reduced lower rib expansion, or poor coordination between the chest and abdomen, may interfere with this function.\n\nThe purpose of this study is to examine dysfunctional breathing patterns in combat sport athletes and to investigate whether diaphragmatic breathing retraining can improve breathing patterns, diaphragm function, core stability, postural control, and sport-related performance. This study will first screen athletes from combat and non-combat sports to determine the prevalence of dysfunctional breathing. Combat sport athletes will then complete laboratory tests to examine the relationship between breathing pattern, posture, diaphragm function, core stability, and postural control. In the intervention part of the study, combat sport athletes with dysfunctional breathing will be randomly assigned to diaphragmatic breathing retraining plus usual training or usual training only. The study will compare the two groups to determine whether adding diaphragmatic breathing retraining provides additional benefits. The study will also examine whether the changes are maintained after training and whether baseline measures can help identify athletes who respond better to the program.",[281,30,282],"Respiratory Muscle Function","Postural Balance",[284,285,286,287,288,289],"Combat sport athletes","Dysfunctional breathing","Diaphragmatic function","Diaphragmatic breathing retraining","Core stability","Postural control","2026-07-15",{"date":229,"type":42},{"date":139,"type":42},{"date":294,"type":23},"2029-07",{"name":296,"class":49},"National Cheng Kung University",{"id":298,"slug":299,"hasResults":12,"nctId":300,"briefTitle":301,"officialTitle":302,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":303,"healthyVolunteers":17,"sex":91,"minAge":304,"maxAge":19,"enrollmentInfo":305,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":24,"phases":307,"briefSummary":308,"conditions":309,"keywords":312,"overallStatus":102,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":318,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":319,"startDateStruct":320,"completionDateStruct":322,"leadSponsor":324,"locationsCount":50},"100647218","nordic-vs-blood-flow-restriction-nordic-exercise-in-elite-female-pole-vaulters-100647218","NCT07705698","Nordic vs Blood Flow Restriction Nordic Exercise in Elite Female Pole Vaulters","Effects of Nordic Hamstring Exercise and Blood Flow Restriction-Assisted Nordic Hamstring Exercise on Hamstring Strength, Muscle Morphology and Functional Performance in Elite Adolescent Female Pole Vaulters: A Randomized Controlled Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Female athletes aged between 12 and 18 years.\n* Elite pole vault athletes actively participating in organized training and competition.\n* Minimum of 1 year of regular pole vault training experience.\n* Participation in regular training at least 3 times per week.\n* Ability to participate in an 8-week exercise program.\n* Written informed assent from the athlete and written informed consent from a parent or legal guardian.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Any lower extremity musculoskeletal injury within the previous 6 months.\n* Previous hamstring muscle surgery.\n* Current pain or injury limiting sports participation.\n* Neurological disorders affecting movement or balance.\n* Cardiovascular conditions contraindicating exercise training or blood flow restriction.\n* Any contraindication to blood flow restriction training.\n* Participation in another structured hamstring strengthening program during the study period.\n* Inability or unwillingness to comply with study procedures.","12 Years",{"count":306,"type":23},36,[26],"The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of Nordic Hamstring Exercise (NHE) and Blood Flow Restriction-assisted Nordic Hamstring Exercise (BFR-NHE) on hamstring muscle strength, muscle morphology, and functional performance in elite adolescent female pole vaulters.
