Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Recommended for serious sports people, such as marathon runners and professional athletes, POWERbreathe Sports Performance Plus seriously boosts your inspiratory muscle performance.
Breathing effort is a major factor contributing to exercise limitation, and during strenuous exercise your inspiratory muscles can fatigue by as much as 29%, stealing blood from other muscles and reducing your performance.
POWERbreathe uses resistance training to increase the strength and endurance of your breathing muscles, improving whole body endurance and ultimately improving your performance.
POWERbreathe is also an indispensable part of any warm-up prior to exercise or sport.
In laboratory studies POWERbreathe training: Improved rowing time trial performance by up to 2.2%, equating to 60m in a 2km race; Improved cycling time trial performance by up to 4.6%, equating to 3-minutes over 40km; Improved running performance (Yo-Yo test) by 19.5%; Accelerated recovery during repeated sprints by up to 7%.
Simply breathe through the POWERbreathe and feel the effects of the calibrated resistance training your breathing muscles.
The laboratory proven, drug-free POWERbreathe training regime of 30 breaths twice a day, takes less than 5-minutes and is effective within 4-weeks, showing optimal improvements in strength and power.
POWERbreathe Plus is the latest generation of POWERbreathe products the official inspiratory muscle trainer of Ironman, Iron Girl, BSA and others. POWERbreathe Plus incorporates the latest research and comes with advanced hi-tech design features and benefits such as: Improved airflow dynamics; Ergonomic design; Comfortable antibacterial mouthpiece (protects against bacteria such as E.Coli and MRSA); Soft-touch nose clip for improved comfort and grip; Angled handle for optimum grip; Simple disassembly for easy cleaning; Easy-to-read resistance level indicator for improved monitoring; Scratch resistant.

I've read other people's review on the fact that it had what looked like hairs. Nothing to worry about...its just the way its packaged. I cleaned it up and started using it.
I tried it on the top level and geez was it hard... so i turned it down to about level 4 and even then it was not an easy task.
So I went all the way down to level 0 to start with...
I've had it for 2 weeks and i have seen an increase in my lung capacity. I'm not out of breath when i go to the top of the 3rd floor steps.
I'm up to level 4 and it feels great.
I've noticed that when I'm on the last few breaths the nose clip really comes into use as my body tries to breath in through the nose...you might pop your ears a bit. not to worry .. just try and think about how you are breathing.
Over all I'm very happy with this product and would recommend it.

The price is a bit humpy I agree (I mean on Amazon you can buy a whole cycle for not much more...so compare the costs of manufacture between the two! I think £25 for this would NOT be profiteering!! The Amazon price is the best price I found, on one site they were knocking them out for £89.99!!
The cost of the unit aside it is a well made little thing, it is easy to use and from the first time you use it improvements in breathing can be felt. Persevere though! This is like all exercise, it has to be measured by repitition over time. Doesn't take long, do it while relaxing in front of the teevee (the cat will give you a funny look though!), it takes just a few minutes to do the exercises, it is easy to keep clean and germ free, I would recommend it for sportspeople, and anyone who gets a bit 'puffed out' doing low intensity training too. I found after a month I added 50% to my endurance when running and hiking and playing soccer and weight training, it makes your breathing deeper and the extra O2 you take in is felt right away, there is a buzz involved when you start as your lungs ain't used to the force and you may feel like wimping out and give up (I saw one for sale on E Bay for a £5..."used once"..."unwanted present"..."has been wiped".....ewwwww!
If you are not used to the discipline of regular exercise then maybe this is not for you, all exercise is about repetition and resistance, this gizmo is adjustable for adding more resistance, start low and work up, give it 4 weeks and banish the out of breath sensation for ever!

I just thought I'd add my thoughts so far on this piece of kit. I've read several reviews mentioning that the gadget was covered in hairs when it arrived, but there were no such problems with mine. It was boxed, with a security seal, and seems perfectly clean and hygienic. (It is supplied with sterilising tablets so you can sterilise it straight away if you're really fussy!)
I had wondered before I bought it if I should be buying the Fitness model, as I'm by no means a professional athlete, but I'm glad I went for the Sports Performance model, as I think otherwise the resistance would not have been sufficient - something perhaps to be aware of if you're thinking of buying one. (I run/jog at a fairly slow pace regularly and am relatively fit, but I'd certainly not describe myself as athletic, so I think perhaps the levels these gadgets are pitched at is a bit misleading.)
Amazon's price is the cheapest at which I have found this item, and their delivery and packaging was excellent as ever (2 working days to Germany - pretty good!) but I do think that the item is a bit over-priced for what it is, so I've knocked off one star. I'll update my review when I have used it for a few weeks, but after trying it out only once I am expecting good results.
