POWERbreathe – Improves Rowing Performance

  • Improved rowing time trial performance by up to 2.2% which, equivalent to slashing 60m in a 2km race
  • Increased strength of inspiratory muscles by 30 – 50%
  • POWERbreathe warm-up significantly improves rowing performance and reduces breathlessness in competitive rowers

Sports POWERbreathe Plus Graph

POWERbreathe Inspiratory Muscle Training & Indoor Rowing

“Rowing has a high respiratory demand, which means that your breathing muscles fatigue early. Prevailing science suggests that this high respiratory demand ‘steals’ blood from your legs during rowing which reduces your overall rowing performance (Harms et al. Journal of Applied Physiology, 82). By strengthening your breathing muscles blood flow, demand by the respiratory muscles is reduced, cardiac output to your leg muscles is increased and therefore your performance will improve.

The likelihood of inspiratory muscle fatigue increases with intensity of exercise above 85% of maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) (Johnson et al. Journal of Physiology, 460). If you are a competitive indoor rower a significant amount of your training will be carried out above this level and during the main body of a 2000 m race or time trial you will be working above 90% of your VO2max.

We know that breathing does limit performance, however the limitations can be significantly overcome by training the respiratory system, specifically the breathing (inspiratory) muscles.” Eddie Fletcher MSc. “POWERbreathe Guide for Indoor Rowers.” Concept2 Ltd. 2006

POWERbreathe training specifically targets the breathing muscles, strengthening them by around 30-50%, significantly improving rowing performance and helping to eliminate breathing fatigue.

Train smarter, not harder, to perform better.
