Interventions
Circuit breathing
The circuit breathing intervention consists of five stations: paper suction using a straw, blowing a toy pinwheel, incentive spirometry, balloon blowing, and weighted diaphragmatic breathing. Participants will rest for 1 minute between stations.
Diaphragmatic Breathing
The diaphragmatic breathing exercise will consist of inhaling through the nose for 4 seconds and exhaling through the nose for 6 seconds, continuously for 10 minutes per set. Participants will rest for 1 minute between sets and complete a total of 3 sets.
Normal Breathing Condition
Participants will breathe normally through the nose without deliberately controlling the rate, rhythm, or depth of breathing. Breathing will remain at each participant's natural pace for approximately 30 minutes.
