POWERbreathe is a division of HaB International, one of the UK's leading producers of fitness equipment. POWERbreathe is an inspiratory muscle trainer. What this means is that your lungs and the muscles that control your breathing are exercised by the POWERbreathe. Lung exercise is normally a bi-product or cardiovascular exercise but it's rare that cardiovascular exercise alone will give you a measurable increase in lung capacity.

The POWERbreathe unit focuses only on the lungs. With an increased lung capacity, many athletes have seen improved peak performance as their muscles are being fed with more oxygen, which in turns means they can burn more energy and for a longer period.

Some of the results shown from tests on the POWERbreathe Plus Sports Performance have been astounding. After rigorous testing, athletes have reported up to a 25% increase in lung capacity, and have reported performance gains that exceeded their expectations. This kind of testing by athlete that are already at a high level of fitness shows just how effective the POWERbreathe can be for you.

The POWERbreathe Plus (in Wellness, Fitness and Sports Performance levels of resistance) is the second generation of POWERbreathe and is re-designed to be more ergonomic and even features an easy to read resistance indicator so you can more easily track your progress over time.

Of course, you can still by the POWERbreathe Classic in all three strengths (Welness, Fitness and Sports Performance). The POWERbreathe Classic is a proven tool and is great if you want to take a more simple approach to inspiratory training that what you get with the POWERbreathe Plus. You get the same benefits with the POWERbreathe Classic as the POWERbreathe Plus but in the original tried and tested format.
