Powerbreathe has launched the K5
for training breathing muscles to
make them stronger and more efficient.
The K5 can also be used to
assess the breathing strength of
new club members.
The device uses
weight training for the diaphragm
and rib muscles, starting with a light
resistance on around 30 breaths on
the device twice a day for the first
month.
The product features a visual
computer display of each breath
taken, enabling the user to adapt
their technique to improve their performance.
It also features warm up
and cool down modes of 30 and 60
breaths to help clear lactate.
