Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Lung Master, a pulmonary exerciser designed to enhance lung capacity and improve breathing in individuals. Participants will undergo spirometry tests to measure lung function before and after using the device at home for one month. The study aims to assess how daily use of the Lung Master can strengthen respiratory muscles and increase overall lung function. Two groups of healthy participants, aged 19-35 and 65 and above, will be recruited for this interventional study.
