The FITAIR Breathing Trainer strength trains the respiratory muscles via breath resistance. A process scientifically referred to as Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT).
Stronger respiratory muscles provide several benefits, including improved breathing efficiency, reduced breathlessness, and enhanced oxygen delivery to the body's tissues. This leads to better overall physical performance and endurance, especially in athletes.
For individuals with respiratory conditions such as COPD or asthma, stronger respiratory muscles can significantly alleviate symptoms, making daily activities easier and improving quality of life. Additionally, enhanced respiratory muscle strength can aid in quicker recovery from respiratory illnesses and help maintain lung function as we age.
Respiratory muscles are typically only strengthened through intense prolonged cardiovascular exercise. Therefore, strength training your respiratory muscles allows you to quickly and easily improve your respiratory health, physical fitness, and overall well being.
Furthermore, it is possible to achiever a higher degree of respiratory muscle strength with RMT than with just cardiovascular exercise alone because of the added resistance. It is the same principle as strength training your skeletal muscles with added weight vs only body weight. For example, you will not be able to achieve the same degree of strength with bodyweight squats as you can with weighted squats.
