Description

The condition of your breathing muscles influences how well you can breathe. Carrying out breathing training improves breathing strength and stamina, reducing breathing fatigue and our demand for oxygen during exercise.

Strengthen your diaphragm – Breathing training with the POWERbreathe Plus Light Resistance focuses on strengthening your diaphragm rather than your lungs. This is because your lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs, and not muscle, and therefore cannot be strengthened.

Ideal for those who are inactive- Training the diaphragm with the POWERbreathe Plus Light Resistance benefits everyone. Whether you’re fit or unfit, have a breathing issue or not. This light resistance model is best suited to people who are new to breathing training, are not active, or have breathing problems. Check the ‘Which Resistance?’ tab for more guidance.

11 adjustable levels- The POWERbreathe Plus Light Resistance has 11 adjustable levels. The levels refer to the amount of resistance you will feel on your in-breath. The range between each training level is quite small, making it more manageable to advance to the next resistance when you’re comfortable.

This ‘load’ training is similar to weightlifting, and this ‘light resistance’ device provides a level of load setting (weight lifted) in increments of 8cmH2O, from 17cmH2O to 98cmH2O.

As you become stronger and fitter, the resistance may stop challenging you. At this point, it’s time to increase the resistance. When you can cope with the highest level of resistance, move onto the POWERbreathe Plus Medium Resistance device to continue strengthening your diaphragm.

Ergonomic design- The POWERbreathe Plus is the second generation of mechanical breathing trainers and features the following design improvements:

Optimized airflow performance to make training more effective
Fully integrated, easily adjustable resistance mechanism
Easy to read resistance level indicator
Soft, comfortable mouthpiece

See results after 4-6 weeks- Consistently follow the training regime of 30 breaths, twice a day to feel less breathless during exertion in 4-6 weeks. This is scientifically proven. Learn more about how the POWERbreathe IMT device works in our guide.

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.
