Breathing muscle weakness is common in COPD, heart failure, and other medical conditions. It can also be down to advancing age or lifestyle. Any condition that prevents physical activity can lead to inspiratory muscle weakness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Breathing Effort In Older Adults<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Advancing years can make you feel restricted by shortness of breath. In fact, studies show that breathing muscle strength reduces with age.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But when your inspiratory muscles are \u2018overloaded\u2019 using POWERbreathe IMT, they adapt, becoming stronger and resistant to fatigue. Stronger inspiratory muscles require less effort during a given task, reducing labored breathing (dyspnoea).<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Breathing Effort In Inactive Lifestyles<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Your breathing muscles display the \u2018use-it-or-lose-it\u2019 phenomenon as other muscles. This is why people who’re less active feel more breathless: because they are less active, their breathing muscles are not exercised and so they grow weaker.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

People who strengthen their breathing muscles with POWERbreathe IMT feel less breathless. They are able to carry out activities which previously left them gasping.<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
