Offi cial Sponsor Spring Convention 2011 Member FS98181 www.habdirect.co.uk INSPIRATORY MUSCLE TRAINERS POWERBREATHE INFORMATION POWERbreathe Inspiratory Muscle Training POWERbreathe is one of the most time efficient training devices at the disposal of today’s health, fitness and sports professional. Only 30 breaths twice daily, less than 5 minutes training has been clinically proven to improve exercise performance and reduced breathlessness in as little as 4 weeks. Why POWERbreathe? When we breathe the diaphragm and intercostal muscles act together like bellows to pump air in and out of the chest. To breathe in, these muscles contract to expand the chest cavity, causing a pressure drop into which the air flows. At rest we breathe approximately 12 litres of air per minute, but during heavy exercise this can rise to over 150 litres per minute, and in elite athletes, this can be as high as 220 litres. Due to the increase in oxygen demand during exercise and physical activity the breathing muscles begin to work harder and just like any other muscle they fatigue, limiting performance. What is POWERbreathe? POWERbreathe works by making the user breathe against an adjustable, calibrated resistance. The concept of training is called Inspiratory Muscle Training or IMT. The breathing muscles work harder to open a pressure threshold valve inside the POWERbreathe. This valve acts as a weight against the breathing muscles. Over a short period of time the breathing muscles adapt to cope with lifting the weight. 2 POWERbreathe For: Fitness and Sports Performance Uniformed Services and Occupational Health • POWERbreathe has been scientifically proven • Independent studies have shown that time • Physically demanding work activities to delay limb fatigue during intense activity trial performance improves elite rowing and can place significant demand on the by preventing the inspiratory muscles from cycling performance by as much as 4.6%. respiratory system.

POWERbreathe auto-optimising IMT technology, the next generation in breathing training Breathing physiology indicates that when your lungs are empty the breathing muscles are at their strongest. However, as they fill up with air they start to loose strength; therefore at high loads the breathing muscle can’t maintain a full contraction throughout an entire breath. The POWERbreathe Kinetic provides the user with variable valve loading to overcome this. A tapered loading resistance matches the contraction curve of the breathing muscles throughout the entire breath. This enables the user to complete a full breath and muscular contraction at an optimal resistance. Peace of mind with POWERbreathe Kinetic The POWERbreathe Kinetic is an exclusive, adaptable and personalised respiratory coaching system offering many unique training features: • Personalised Auto-optimising • Download-ability and performance technology, IMT, that adapts specifically monitoring software* 3 to users breathing function • Built in breathing guidance parameters to • Advanced variable load training for improved train, warm-up* and cool-down* training performance • Integrated pacing metronome, breath counter • Performance monitoring capability for and end of session indicator analysing breathing muscle strength, power and training volume • Easy maintenance and user friendly design • Training intensity selector for creating specific • Rechargeable by both mains and pc and tailored training *Availability of features dependant on model Model K5 Also available: POWERbreathe Kinetic Portable Systems for Sports, Fitness, Education and Health Professionals, utilizing POWERbreathe Kinetic’s unique multi-user options. Accurate load setting is key to ensuring the best possible training outcomes. The ability of the K-series to deliver this automatically, as well as monitoring progress, make it a quantum leap in breathing muscle training.

The bear, made by the well-known German stuffed animal firm, Steiff, dated to the early 1900s. The bear, colored an unusual shade of blue, was a one-of-a-kind and just had to be bought by a collector who owned examples of nearly everything made by Steiff.

    Physiological and perceptual responses at submaximal and maximal capacity in six modes of exercise by Brian Jerome Sharkey, Jr A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Physical Education Montana State University © Copyright by Brian Jerome Sharkey, Jr (1993) Abstract: This study was designed to compare maximum capacity (VO2max) and ventilatory threshold (VT) for leg only and arm plus leg exercise [leg: treadmill (TM), cycle ergometer (CE), stairclimber (SC), and arm leg combined: Schwinn AirDyne (AD), NordicTrack cross-country ski simulator (NT), and NordicRow rower (NR) ]. It was anticipated that the inclusion of the increased muscle mass of the upper-body would augment the leg alone V02max, and alter the VT as well. Eight untrained female volunteers were used as subjects. VO2max was elicited using incremental protocols designed to cause volitional fatigue within 20 minutes. Repeated measures ANOVA was used for data analysis (P<0.05). Differences were only noted between the highest and lowest VO2max means (AD and NR, 2.62 and 2.33 liters/min respectively). No differences were found in the maximum heart rate or relative perceived exertion (RPE) measurements. Significant differences in oxygen consumption at the VT were: CE (1.31 liters/min) vs TM (1.64 liters/min), AD (1.62 liters/min), NR (1.65 liters/min) and NT (1.79 liters/min). When grouped arm-leg combined VT's were significantly higher than those of the leg alone exercises (1.68 vs. 1.46 L/min respectively). Significant differences noted when VT was expressed as a percentage of VO2max were: CE (53%) vs.
