Description

Healthy, strong breathing muscles make breathing easier. When breathing becomes easier, you will feel fitter, reduce the symptoms of breathing conditions and enhance your sporting performance. You can achieve this by strengthening your diaphragm with breathing training using the POWERbreathe Classic Medium Resistance device.

Benefits of inspiratory muscle training with the POWERbreathe Classic include:

Improved sports performance
More energy with less effort
Faster recovery after exercise
Improved breathing in those with breathing issues.

Strengthen your diaphragm- Breathing training with the POWERbreathe Classic Medium Resistance strengthens your diaphragm rather than your lungs. This is because your lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs, and not muscle like the diaphragm, and so cannot be strengthened.

9 adjustable levels- The breathing device has 9 levels of resistance – you move up to the next level when the resistance no longer challenges you. The range between each training level is broader than that offered by the light resistance model.

As your breathing muscles become stronger and you move up one of the training levels by increasing the resistance, there is a larger increase in cmH2O, making training more of a challenge.

The device offers a ‘medium resistance’ to breathing in, provided by the adjustable, calibrated spring-loaded valve. This ‘load’ training is similar to weightlifting, and provides a variable level of load setting (weight lifted) in increments of 20cmH2O, from 10cmH2O to 170cmH2O.

Results after 4-6 weeks- If you persistently follow the training regime of 30 breaths, twice a day you should see results in 4-6 weeks. You will feel less breathless during exertion and have increased breathing stamina.

This is scientifically proven. Learn more about how the POWERbreathe IMT device works in our guide.

Trusted brand- The POWERbreathe Classic is the first breathing trainer we developed and it’s still as popular as when we first introduced it. Over the last 20 years, POWERbreathe has created innovative breathing products which have improved people’s health and wellness.

Which Resistance?

Choose Light Resistance:

If you exercise / are physically active for less than 2.5 hours per week and have no issues with your breathing
If you exercise / are physically active for less than 2.5 hours per week and have issues with your breathing – minor/moderate
If you exercise / are physically active for more than 2.5 hours per week and have severe issues with your breathing

Choose Medium Resistance:

If you exercise / are physically active for more than 2.5 hours per week and have no issues with your breathing
If you exercise / are physically active for more than 2.5 hours per week and have some issues with your breathing that are not severe

Choose Heavy Resistance:

Only if you have reached the highest load setting on a POWERbreathe Medium Resistance model first.

Adjustable Load Selection Range

Please note: Heavy resistance is only for those who have reached maximum loading on a medium resistance model. If you start with a heavy resistance model, you will not experience the benefits of POWERbreathe Plus training and may struggle to acheive higher levels due to the faster progression between loads.

Precise load settings may vary due to: (1) the analogue nature of the calibrated spring tensioner and the precision with which the load is selected; (2) a small effect of inspiratory flow rate upon spring compression such that high inspiratory flow rates lead to greater spring compression, and a small increase in load.

This effect is common to all spring loaded devices, and its size is magnified by increasing spring range (it is larger in a spring with a maximum range of 90cmH2O compared with one with half this range), it is also greater at lower absolute load settings.
