Not everyone will appreciate this improvement, but in a competitive sports, athletes may want to try it since a few seconds can make a difference. Dr Paul Sumners said, “When we exercise, there is an assumption that breathing takes of itself. The majority of people don’t see it as something they need to worry about and very few actually train their respiratory system - but that is changing.”
What, training our respiratory systems? Some of us may still not buy into the idea. However, now, with the rising popularity of yoga, martial arts and tai chi, advocates of healthy living are realizing the importance of better breathing. Yes, I remember “breathe in” and “breathe out” in my Yoga classes. Now, it starts to make sense.
So, how actually Youbreathe works? It uses a patented technology to develop the vital muscle groups in the chest and diaphragm. Its technology is deeply roted in science and research stemming from the Russian Space Programme in an attempt to increase the amount of time an astronaut stay in space. It delivers a vibrating pulse into the respiratory system that helps users breathe deeper and stronger. The diaphragm, abdominals and chest muscles work harder during the breathing cycle which leads to improved circulation, increased blood oxygenation and faster removal of carbon dioxide. Bottom line, you spend less time working out to get the same results.
Youbreathe is claimed to be the world’s first portable device that delivers the benefits of vibrated training to the respiratory system. This device is not much bigger than a typical mobile phone. So, it is definitely small enough to keep in kit bag. The mouthpiece can be removed and washed with soapy water ready for next use.
Based on the feedback I found from the Internet, they said it was strange to use at first as they breathed in and out. They had tickling sensation in chest and abdomen. However, most users adapted to it and now breathing in this new way has become second nature. One simply hold Youbreathe in her mouth and breathe through it for 40 to 60 breaths per day for beginners, and during light exercise for athletes. The company claims that training for about 5 minutes a day and 5 days per week are sufficient to see the benefits to your cardiovascular health and exercise performance. It sounds simple for the large benefits it may bring.
I believe that it may be too soon to draw conclusions from the real fitness benefits of this new vibration technology. Whether it will help enhancing athletes’ performance , one may need more facts to be convinced. In addition to elite athletes, research is still being carried out whether Youbreathe can also help those who suffer from asthma.
However, based on the common sense, a stronger stimulus supplied to relevant muscles can increase the specific muscle. As Youbreathe is at the forefront of the application of vibration technology for enhanced breathing performance, it therefore seems well worth experimenting with Youbreathe for serious athlete. After all, it is a bio-medical drug free product.
Youbreathe is the flagship product invented by a team at London South Bank University which also has invented FitFlop (fitness shoes help women firming their butts).
