Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the Effect of Core Exercises with Diaphragmatic Breathing on Peak Expiratory Flow Rate & Abdominal Strength in Recreational Swimmers. Timepoint: 4 weeks	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare & determine the effects of the intervention by quantifying it with an index suitable for swimmers & later it would lead to decrease respiratory fatigueTimepoint: 4 weeks	—
