Our POWERbreathe Family #MakeEveryBreathCount

Our community is where we can talk to, learn from, and share how to #MakeEveryBreathCount with you. We’d love for you to join us, so please sign up for our newsletters, follow and engage with us on our social media.

The University of Colorado, Boulder, investigated The University of Colorado, Boulder, investigated whether the POWERbreathe K3 IMST device could lower #bloodpressure and reduce #heartattack risk. ❗ One of the key findings of the research is that just 30 breaths of #IMST (about five minutes) will lower blood pressure. Crucially, researchers report significant drops in blood pressure and improvements in large-artery function. In fact, their findings show that about 5-minutes of IMST lowers blood pressure as much as aerobic exercise and more than some medications. The research findings also suggest that just 5-minutes of POWERbreathe IMST may also boost #cognitive function. Furthermore, findings show that IMST may also #improvefitness and increase sports performance.
📑Time‐Efficient Inspiratory Muscle Strength T 📑Time‐Efficient Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training Lowers Blood Pressure and Improves Endothelial Function, NO Bioavailability, and Oxidative Stress in Midlife/Older Adults With Above‐Normal Blood Pressure. ℹ️ The researchers recruited 36 people between the ages of 50 and 79 for their trial. All of the participants had high #bloodpressure, but were otherwise healthy. For six weeks, half of the participants used an #IMST device with the resistance set to “high” for five minutes a day, six days a week. The other half was the comparison group — they used the device as often, but with the resistance set far lower. ❗ At the end of the six weeks, the blood pressure of participants in the comparison group was the same. However, the people in the IMST group, with high resistance, saw an average reduction in their systolic blood pressure of nine points. That’s about the same level of reduction expected from some medications and more than the reduction expected from walking for 30 minutes a day, five days a week. ✔️ Six weeks later, the participants’ blood pressure was still about 7 points lower than it had been at the start of the trial, even though they’d stopped using the IMST device. More information about the study can be found on our website (link in bio).

#InspiratoryMuscleTraining can help you to increas #InspiratoryMuscleTraining can help you to increase the amount of #lung capacity you’re able to use. Deeper #breathing with #IMT uses a bit more energy, just like any other type of #strength #training. But with each deep breath, it also allows more #oxygen to enter your bloodstream. And, at the same time, you’re strengthening your breathing muscles. Performing 30 breaths twice a day with POWERbreathe IMT for at least six weeks significantly reduces the amount of oxygen you’ll require while #exercising. However, all inspiratory muscle training devices are not created equal. There are different types of ‘weight-lifting’, or ‘loading’ for exercising your #inspiratory muscles. 1. #FlowResistance This is the most basic type of breathing trainer and consists of holes of varying size that restricts the airflow as you breathe in. There is no calibration of load in centimetres of water (cmH2O), which is the unit of pressure most commonly used to measure breathing on #respirators and #ventilators. 2. #PressureThreshold Resistance This uses a calibrated, spring-loaded valve that will only open once you are able to generate enough #inspiratorypressure. Pressure is measured in centimetres of water (cmH2O). It is a more scientific type of training than flow resistance because you have 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱. 3. Electronic Tapered Resistance All POWERbreathe K-Series breathing devices use this method of resistance. This type of training uses a computer-controlled valve to 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵, as you progress through the breath. Also you are able to measure breathing volume, load, #power & #energy. Finally, the POWERbreathe K-Series inspiratory muscle training devices feature a Strength-Index test which is unique to POWERbreathe. More information about IMT and different trainers can be found on our website.
THE MOST ADVANCED INSPIRATORY MUSCLE TRAINING DEVI THE MOST ADVANCED INSPIRATORY MUSCLE TRAINING DEVICE OF THE K-SERIES RANGE With the ability to connect to the advanced Breathe-Link Live Feedback software, you have a sophisticated testing, training and monitoring breathing training system.

Three weeks of interval training in heat, concurre Three weeks of interval training in heat, concurrent heat and hypoxia, or temperate environments improve 20-km time trial performance to the same extent. Despite indications of physiological adaptations, the addition of independent heat or concurrent heat and hypoxia provided no greater performance benefits in a temperate environment than temperate training alone. PBAES offers simulated altitude and environmental training systems that are portable and ideal for individual use, or team use. #acclimation #endurance #cycling #hypoxia #timetrials #altitudetraining #highaltitude #simulatedaltitude #exerciseperformance #PBAES #sportsperformance #hypoxictraining #heattraining

And life takes those turns and you have the chance not only to say but to change the outcome in the quality of life of some of them. Well, this living #legend of local medicine came to start #physicaltherapy with me and I had the chance to say in person how much I admire him and today we are friends, I say this because without saying a single word he has already shown it with several attitudes. It's an honor to see you like this, strong and full of vigor! The monster as he was called in college days is stronger than ever! Thank you for the noble trust Dr. Fernando Cruz!
@prof.lucassaraiva: The challenge is to never let @prof.lucassaraiva: The challenge is to never let physiotherapy fall into ostracism, into the limbo of mediocrity. The exercise prescription must be individualized, aligned with the individual's functionalities and preferences, while considering the therapeutic goals. 🌬 Inspiratory muscle training ❤️‍🔥Cardiorespiratory Conditioning (monitored and dosed at home consultation) 🚣‍♀️Adapted sports gesture (Hawaiian canoe) And with a smile on his face at the end he said: “Damn I really liked this teacher!” @celoo_45 you are as the song says, you are unstoppable!
