Description
The condition of your breathing muscles influences how well you can breathe. Effective breathing is important for optimal sports performance and improved fitness – this can be achieved by strengthening your diaphragm with breathing training. Carrying out breathing training with the POWERbreathe Plus Medium Resistance device makes breathing feel easier, reduces your demand for oxygen during exercise and slows down your heart rate.
Strengthen your diaphragm- Breathing training with the POWERbreathe Plus Medium 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, and therefore cannot be strengthened.
11 adjustable levels- The POWERbreathe Plus Medium Resistance has 11 adjustable levels. The levels refer to the resistance you will feel on your in-breath.
The range between each training level is broader than that offered by the light resistance model. This means that as your breathing muscles become stronger and you move up one of the training levels by increasing the resistance, there is a larger increase in cmH2O, making training more of a challenge.
This device offers medium resistance on your in-breath, provided by the adjustable, calibrated, spring-loaded valve. This ‘load’ training is similar to weightlifting and provides a variable level of load setting (weight lifted) in increments of 16/17cmH2O, from 23cmH2O to 186cmH2O.
As you become stronger and fitter, the resistance may stop challenging you. When this happens, increase the resistance. Once you have reached the highest level on your device, continue strengthening your diaphragm with the POWERbreathe Plus Heavy Resistance device.
Ergonomic design- The POWERbreathe Plus is the second generation of mechanical breathing trainers and features the following design improvements:
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.

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.
