Description
How well you can breathe is influenced by the condition of your breathing muscles. Optimal sports performance and great fitness rely on effective breathing – this can be achieved by strengthening your diaphragm, your main breathing muscle, with breathing training.
Completing breathing training with the POWERbreathe Classic Light Resistance device makes breathing feel easier and reduces your demand for oxygen during exercise which slows down your heart rate. As a result, you will benefit from improved breathing stamina and wellness.
Benefits of inspiratory muscle training with the POWERbreathe Classic include:
Strengthen your diaphragm- Breathing training with the POWERbreathe Classic Light Resistance 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 like the diaphragm, and so cannot be strengthened.
9 adjustable levels- The breathing device has 9 adjustable levels – you move up to the next level when the resistance no longer challenges you.
This ‘load’ training is similar to weightlifting. For the POWERbreathe Classic Light Resistance, the level of load setting (weight lifted) is in increments of 10cmH2O, from 10cmH2O to 90cmH2O.
The range between each training level is quite small. As your breathing muscles become stronger and you move up one of the training levels by increasing the resistance, this small increase in cmH2O makes it more manageable.
See results after 4-6 weeks- Consistently follow the training regime of 30 breaths, twice a day to feel less breathless during exertion in 4-6 weeks. This is scientifically proven. Learn more about how the POWERbreathe IMT device works in our guide.
Trusted brand- The POWERbreathe Classic is the first breathing trainer we developed and it’s still as popular as when we first introduced it. Over the last 20 years, POWERbreathe has created innovative breathing products, intending to improve people’s health and wellness.

Which Resistance?
Adjustable Load Selection Range
Please note: Heavy resistance is only for those who have reached maximum loading on a medium resistance model. If you start with a heavy resistance model, you will not experience the benefits of POWERbreathe Plus training and may struggle to acheive higher levels due to the faster progression between loads.
Precise load settings may vary due to: (1) the analogue nature of the calibrated spring tensioner and the precision with which the load is selected; (2) a small effect of inspiratory flow rate upon spring compression such that high inspiratory flow rates lead to greater spring compression, and a small increase in load.
This effect is common to all spring loaded devices, and its size is magnified by increasing spring range (it is larger in a spring with a maximum range of 90cmH2O compared with one with half this range), it is also greater at lower absolute load settings.
