Description
The POWERbreathe Classic Heavy Resistance device is designed for those with already exceptionally strong breathing muscles, offering the most challenging breathing load available in our range of breathing trainers. This advanced level is better suited to elite athletes, such as rowers with highly developed lung capacity, who have already mastered the Classic Medium Resistance training levels.
This heavy resistance model is our most challenging manual device and should only be used once you have reached the maximum threshold on the Classic Medium Resistance.
The effectiveness of your breathing is influenced by the condition of your breathing muscles. Strong, healthy breathing muscles lead to greater fitness, reduction in breathing problems and optimal sports performance. This can all be achieved by strengthening your diaphragm with breathing training using the POWERbreathe Classic Heavy Resistance device.
Completing inspiratory muscle training with breathing trainers will result in the following benefits:
- Improved sports performance
- More energy with less effort
- Breathing feels easier
- Faster recovery after exercise
Strengthen your diaphragm- Breathing training with the POWERbreathe Classic Heavy 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 and medium 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 the heaviest resistance to breathing in, provided by the adjustable spring-loaded valve. This ‘load’ training is similar to weightlifting, and provides a variable level of load setting (weight lifted) in increments of 30cmH2O, from 10cmH2O to 250cmH2O. This is the widest load range between training levels out of all of our Classic devices.
Results after 4-6 weeks- If you consistently follow the training regimen 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.
Inspiratory muscle training with POWERbreathe is scientifically proven. Learn more about how the POWERbreathe IMT device works in our guide.
