K-Series

The World’s 1st Intelligent Digital Breathing Trainer 

The POWERbreathe K-Series is the 3rd generation of POWERbreathe Inspiratory Muscle Training (breathing training) products to have been developed.

The innovative POWERbreathe K-Series delivers a superior breathing training experience that takes the guess work out of your training, offering exclusive, adaptable and personalised respiratory coaching.

• K-Series Smart Breathing Training Technology

    Breathing physiology indicates that when your lungs are empty the breathing muscles are at their strongest. However, as they fill up with air they start to lose strength and therefore at high loads they can’t maintain a full contraction throughout an entire breath. 

    The intelligent POWERbreathe K-Series provides the user with variable valve loading to overcome this. A tapered loading resistance matches the contraction curve of the breathing muscles throughout the entire breath. This enables the user to complete a full breath and muscular contraction at an optimal resistance.
