A team of scientists at Britain’s leading Human Performance Research universities discovered that a major cause of the sensation of breathlessness is weakness of the muscles we use to breathe. Their studies showed that people who exercise and strengthen these muscles tend to feel less breathless and find they are able to carry out activities which previously left them gasping for breath.
POWERbreathe inspiratory muscle training (breathing muscle training) is scientifically proven to strengthen the inspiratory muscles (the muscles used to breathe), reducing breathlessness, improving exercise/activity tolerance and enhancing quality of life in people with debilitating respiratory conditions including asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and bronchitis.
Asthma
In laboratory studies and randomised controlled trials, inspiratory muscle training was shown to generate:
- A reduction in the consumption of medication of up to 79%1
- A reduction of ß2-agonists consumption by up to 79%1
- An improvement in asthma symptoms by up to 75% in 3 weeks2
COPD
In laboratory studies and randomised controlled trials, inspiratory muscle training was shown to generate:
- Improvements in inspiratory muscle strength of 55% (Newall et al., 1998)
- Endurance of 86% (Newall et al., 1998)
- Improvements in quality of life by 21%3
- Improvements in dyspnoea by 36%3
- Reduction in primary care consultations by 23%3
POWERbreathe is drug-free, has no side effects or drug interactions.
Using the laboratory-proven POWERbreathe training system of just 30-breaths twice a day, the strength of your breathing muscles will improve rapidly.
- Within a few days your breathing muscles will feel stronger
- Within 3-weeks you’ll feel less breathless
- Within 4-weeks activities will feel easier
