POWERbreathe Inspiratory Muscle Training. As you breathe in through POWERbreathe, you breathe in against an adjustable, calibrated resistance.
Breath by breath, our world leading, clinically proven, drug-free respiratory muscle training devices help you to breathe better for health, wellness, sport, and performing arts. POWERbreathe works closely with experts in breathing physiology from around the globe and has developed a range of cutting edge breathing training, monitoring and testing devices. POWERbreathe uses the same principals as resistance training and is often referred to as “dumbbells for your diaphragm”. This makes your inspiratory muscles work harder. This concept of training is called Inspiratory Muscle Training or IMT. POWERbreathe training has been proven to improve sports performance, improve fitness and reduce breathlessness.
Breathwork and breathing training aren’t the same thing. But both can have a place 🫁
We’re revisiting our conversation with Anthony Mullally about an important distinction.
Breathwork can help us explore how we breathe - our breathing patterns, pace and awareness.
Respiratory muscle training is different: it uses resistance to specifically train the muscles involved in breathing, building their strength and endurance.
As interest in breathing and wellbeing continues to grow, understanding which tool you’re using and why, matters.
🎥 Anthony explains the difference, and why the two approaches can complement one another.
Before the emails, after your coffee, between meetings, before training…whenever you can find a moment.
Slow, gentle breathing can be a simple way to pause and feel calmer, and making it part of your regular routine can help turn those few minutes into a habit. The NHS recommends regular calming breathing exercises as one way to help manage feelings of stress.
And if respiratory muscle training is already part of your day, why not habit-stack the two?
🫁 Pause - take five minutes for slow, comfortable breathing
💪 Train - complete your 30 POWERbreathe breaths
💙 Continue - get on with your day
Two different approaches to breathing, with two different purposes, but one little window in your day that’s dedicated to you.

In this week’s webinar, Dr Suman Sheraz described the respiratory muscle metaboreflex in a really accessible way:
When breathing muscles become fatigued, the body can increase sympathetic activity and redistribute blood flow away from working peripheral muscles towards the respiratory muscles.
She asks whether improving respiratory muscle capacity could therefore reduce some of this “physiological competition during exercise.”
How often have you experienced this during exercise, when your breathing feels like it’s working just as hard as the rest of your body? 🫁
It’s another fascinating example of why our breathing muscles shouldn’t be considered in isolation and why training them could have implications beyond breathing strength alone.

What could stronger breathing muscles mean for people living with diabetes? 🫁
In our latest Better Breathing Institute webinar, Dr Suman Sheraz explores IMT from a wider, multi-system perspective - looking beyond breathing strength to the potential connections between the diaphragm, balance, movement and physical function.
One particularly interesting idea? When respiratory muscles fatigue during exercise, they can compete with working muscles for blood flow - what Dr Sheraz describes as “physiological competition during exercise.”
Sheraz’s research explores what might happen when IMT is added to a broader rehabilitation programme for people with type 2 diabetes, with findings across respiratory function, balance and functional capacity.

What happens when we train our breathing muscles… beyond breathing? 🫁❤️
New research suggests the effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) may reach beyond respiratory muscle strength alone.
A recent systematic review and meta-analysis found that alongside improvements in inspiratory strength, IMT was associated with changes in heart rate variability linked to vagal-mediated cardiac regulation.
In simpler terms? Training the muscles we use to breathe may also influence some of the autonomic processes involved in regulating the heart.
An exciting area of research, and another reminder of just how connected breathing is to the rest of the body.

30 breaths, twice a day 🫁
Dr Sabrina Brar breaks down how she trains her breathing with Inspiratory Muscle Training and what the research tells us about building strong breathing muscles.
Simple routine, measurable progress, and plenty more still to learn 💙

More breathing science, more expert voices, more to discover 🫁🎓
We’ve updated our Better Breathing Institute webinar schedule, with four free sessions coming up across October and November!
From IMT in diabetes and respiratory strength in voice, to dysphagia in intensive care and IMT for EILO, our upcoming speakers will explore respiratory muscle training and breathing from a range of clinical perspectives.
All sessions are free to attend and designed to turn the latest knowledge and research into practical learning.

You train your legs, you train your core, but are you training the muscles that power your breathing? 🫁🏃
We loved seeing the team at putting respiratory muscle training into practice with runners.
Using POWERbreathe, they assess inspiratory muscle strength and incorporate IMT into individual training programmes, helping runners give their breathing muscles the same attention as the rest of their body.
Whether you’re training for a PB or simply looking to better understand your breathing when you run, it’s great to see breathing muscle strength becoming part of the conversation. 💙
Because running training doesn’t have to stop at the legs.
Your breathing muscles are muscles too 🫁
This October, we’re exploring what it means to build stronger breathing - from the science of respiratory muscle strength to the different ways IMT and EMT are being used across health, exercise and everyday life.
We’ll be exploring:
💪 How and why we train our breathing muscles
📈 Testing, training and tracking progress
🔬 The latest respiratory muscle research
🎓 New expert education from The Better Breathing Institute
🏃 How strong breathing muscles can support different people and goals
Because understanding your breathing is just the beginning.
Train, strengthen, progress 💙

Don’t miss a beat ❤️
This World Heart Day, we’re joining the call to pay attention to heart health. Heart disease can hide in plain sight, so knowing the signs, checking your blood pressure and making time for everyday movement all matter.
At POWERbreathe, we know breathing muscles can be trained, too. Research into high-resistance inspiratory muscle training has shown promising results for lowering blood pressure. It’s one more reason we’re passionate about the science of breathing.
Take a moment today to check in with your heart, and encourage someone you care about to do the same.
