POWERbreathe is the name on everyone’s lips when they talk about the best breathing trainer. That’s because we are the proud creators of the world’s first mechanical inspiratory muscle training device (IMT), launched in 1996, and the world’s first electronic breathing training device, launched in 2010. The electronic POWERbreathe K-Series uses dynamically adjusted flow resistance to generate breathing load, making it the device of choice in medical and sports settings.
But now, our latest innovation will help you benefit more from your breathing exercises when using our mechanical breathing devices.
Introducing The POWERbreathe Smart Adaptor & ActiBreathe® App
Dynamically Adjusted Flow Resistance (The POWERbreathe K-Series and KH-Series use Dynamically Adjusted Flow Resistance. These inspiratory muscle training devices use a dynamically adjustable flow resistor that provides resistance to the inspiratory muscles. This real-time, dynamic adjustment to breathing load, will automatically adjust the load on the inspiratory muscles, according to the user’s current breathing strength.)
Our new electronic POWERbreathe Smart Adaptor and companion ActiBreathe® App transforms your mechanical POWERbreathe breathing devices into state-of-the-art smart breathing devices, using Bluetooth® wireless technology. Available from 9th September 2024.
Mechanical Breathing Training with Advanced Technology
The new POWERbreathe Smart Adaptor easily attaches to your POWERbreathe Plus IMT or POWERbreathe EX1 EMT device, and later, your POWERbreathe Shaker Deluxe Mucus Clearance device. This hi-tech addition turns your mechanical breathing device into a smarter one; one that provides real-time, customized feedback on your breathing performance.
Key Features:
- Easy Attachment: Attaches easily to POWERbreathe Plus IMT and POWERbreathe EX1 EMT devices.
- Wireless Connectivity: Connects to the ActiBreathe® App via Bluetooth®.
- User-Friendly Interface: Simple to pair and set up on the ActiBreathe® App.
- Customised Training: Offers tailored and guided breathing strength testing and training.
- Comprehensive Analysis: Tracks your progress with thorough training analysis.
- Standalone Capability: Use independently of your breathing device for standalone breathing strength tests.
The new POWERbreathe Smart Adaptor is compatible with these POWERbreathe IMT and POWERbreathe EMT breathing trainers, and coming later, POWERbreathe Shaker Deluxe Mucus Clearance devices too:
Inspiratory Muscle Trainers (IMT)
Inspiratory Muscle Breathing training focuses on strengthening your diaphragm rather than your lungs. This is because your lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs, and not muscle, and therefore cannot be strengthened.
For people that are unfit or suffering from conditions such as COPD and asthma, breathing requires more effort and energy. Carrying out breathing training decreases this effort and reduces your demand for oxygen during exercise.
Expiratory Muscle Trainers (EMT)
Whereas POWERbreathe Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) trains your inspiratory muscles to become stronger, Expiratory muscle training (EMT) targets your expiratory muscles to become stronger.
EMT exercises your expiratory muscles, including your abdominals. Your expiratory muscles are the ones you use when you forcefully breathe out, such as coughing, during extreme exercise, singing or when playing a wind instrument. The stronger they are, the more endurance they will have.
Visualize Your Breathing Progress in Real Time
We designed the electronic POWERbreathe Smart Adaptor so that you could see your breathing improvements as they happen. By pairing it with the ActiBreathe® App via Bluetooth®, it provides helpful breathing feedback to help you get the most from your training. This combination of advanced technology and personalized guidance makes it possible for you to now see your training progress on screen, with hard evidence of your efforts.
