Athletes will always look for ways to optimize performance in their chosen field of sport. For some reason, breathing performance is one area that is often missing from athletic training. Yet improving breathing muscle function is one essential factor that could make all the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having the breathing strength and stamina to continue to provide the best performance, can be the difference between Gold and Silver. Recent research using the POWERbreathe Strength-Index\u00ae Test highlights the essential role that breathing muscles play in enhancing endurance and overall athletic ability and performance.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the POWERbreathe Strength-Index\u00ae Test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Developed for the electronic POWERbreathe K3<\/a>, K<\/a>4<\/a> and K5<\/a> Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) devices, the Strength-Index\u00ae Test evaluates and assesses breathing muscle strength<\/a>. It differs from other assessments of respiratory muscle function, which measure static breathing strength, by measuring maximum dynamic inspiratory pressure<\/a>. This dynamic evaluation makes this test especially useful for athletes who rely on big, forceful breaths for their best performance.<\/p>\n\n\n
