What is POWERbreathe and how does it benefit you?
For those who have not heard of POWERbreathe here is a brief explanation:
‘POWERbreathe uses a technique commonly known as resistance training, in much the same way as you might use weights to increase the strength of your arm muscles.’ Source: http://www.powerbreathe.com
How POWERbreathe was born
The breathing apparatus trainer was born in the 1990’s as the result of a decade of research carried out by a team of professional exercise scientists at Birmingham University and Loughborough University in the UK. The team concluded that breathing plays a pivotal role in exercise performance.
The research showed that when exercising, enormous strain and demand is placed upon the breathing muscles used to pump air in and out of our lungs. This results in inspiratory muscle fatigue, which leads to performance being impaired. However, on the positive side if you subject your inspiratory muscles to a training stimulus like you do other muscles when exercising, they will ‘adapt, increase their strength, power and endurance’ (Source: Romer & McConnell, 2003).
