Research and Science

These research papers, original studies and review articles present compelling evidence for the efficacy of POWERbreathe Respiratory Muscle Training—including IMT, IMST, EMT, and EMST—in diverse populations and conditions. The POWERbreathe model depicted in the research paper may not necessarily correspond to the model utilised in the study, because that model is no longer available. We have therefore referred to a similar device.
