POWERbreathe - Improved performance through better breathing for Team Timex
Warwickshire, England (March 11th, 2008).
Team Timex is made up of world-class athletes who compete in triathlon events such as IRONMAN and Xterra. As leader in high-end, innovative breathing training technology, POWERbreathe will provide Team Timex with the latest breathing training devices, already the choice of many athletes worldwide.
POWERbreathe will be introduced into the athlete’s daily training, helping them reach peak physical fitness and providing them with an advantage in today’s highly competitive Triathlon arena.
Triathletes are subjected to a vast range of physical confrontations. The conflicting demands of swimming, cycling and running place significant fatigue upon the breathing muscles effecting performance. POWERbreathe training is scientifically proven to improve breathing muscle strength by up to 45%, improving performance and stamina.
Tristan Brown, Team Timex Team Manager commented:
“POWERbreathe has a proven track record in developing the endurance and performance of athletes across the world and it is great to have them on board working closely with the team. We look forward to seeing the significant performance gains the device can bring.”
POWERbreathe training is scientifically proven to improve inspiratory muscle stamina and endurance by 30%; accelerate recovery during repeated sprints by up to 7%; warm-up the breathing muscles which normal warm-up routines fail to do; and speed up lactate clearance more effectively than traditional active recovery strategies.
