        POWERbreathe uses the basic principles of resistance training. Just as you might use weights to strengthen your arm muscles, breathing in through POWERbreathe against the medium, variable resistance makes your breathing muscles work harder - thereby increasing their strength and endurance.

        Within a few days of using this drug-free, easy-to-use hand-held device, your breathing muscles will feel stronger; within 3-weeks you’ll feel less breathless; and within 4 weeks activities, exercise and sports will feel easier.

        {features}

        • Drug-free & natural with no side effects or drug interactions
        • Scientifically proven, pressure threshold training technique
        • Calibrated inspiratory load (medium resistance)
        • Adjustable ‘medium’ training resistance (up to 10 adjustable training levels)
        • Resistor / training level indicator
        • Fully washable design
        • Anti-bacterial mouthpiece
        • Ergonomic mouthpiece design, suitable for adult & paediatric use
        • Up to 65% improvement in airflow performance (vs. POWERbreathe Classic)

      • Inspiratory muscle training (breathing muscle training), such as training with POWERbreathe, is not recommended for patients with a history of spontaneous pneumothorax (a collapsed lung that was not due to traumatic injury e.g. broken rib), as it may lead to a recurrence of the condition. Following a traumatic pneumothorax and/or broken rib, POWERbreathe should not be used prior to full recovery.

        Inspiratory muscle training is not suitable for asthma patients who have low symptom perception and who suffer from frequent sever exacerbations. Inspiratory muscle training is not suitable for anyone who has recently experienced a perforated eardrum. Anyone who is under the age of 16 should only use POWERbreathe with supervision from an adult.

Breathing Effort in Triathlon 

During triathlon your lungs are subjected to huge demands in each of the three endurance disciplines. 

During the first stage of a triathlon, swimming, your breathing is challenged as you have to inhale as much oxygen as possible in the shortest time possible, so you’re able to return to the optimal position for generating propulsive force. This obviously creates a huge strain on your inspiratory muscles and it is no surprise that you’ll experience significant fatigue of these muscles.

During the second stage of a triathlon, cycling, the very nature of the hunched position you need to adopt for aerodynamics will also create breathing problems because the contents of your abdomen (mainly your liver and gut) become compressed and pushed up against your main breathing muscle, your diaphragm. This restricts its normal movement and will make breathing feel much harder. 

Studies have suggested too that respiratory impairments induced by cycling carry over into the run, causing run performance to be impaired. It appears that the mechanical constraints of cycling i.e. restriction of the rib cage and diaphragm movement induce impairments in both inspiratory muscle function and lung diffusing capacity, both of which can impair performance.

During the third and final stage of a triathlon, running, your breathing muscles not only enable breathing, but they also work to stabilise your upper body during every foot strike. During this stage your breathing will be substantial and it’s no wonder breathing muscles fatigue after bouts of intense running.

Inspiratory Muscle Training:

  • Increased swimming performance by up to 3.5% 
  • Improved cycling time trial performance by 4.6% - equivalent to slashing 3-minutes off a 40k time trial 
  • Enabled participants to cycle for 33% longer and with lower sense of effort 
  • Accelerated recovery during repeated sprints by up to 7% 
  • Improved inspiratory muscle strength by 31.2% 
  • Improved inspiratory muscle endurance by 27.8% 
  • Reduced whole body effort during exercise
