Power Breathe Sports Performance Plus

Power Breathe Sports Performance Plus Review

The POWERbreathe plus devices come in a range of resistances and it can be difficult to gauge which one is right for you. I did some research on the Powerbreathe web site and found out that there are essentially three products in the PowerBreathe Plus range. The one with the lowest resistance is the green `Wellness' product. Medium resistance is obtained from the blue `Fitness' model and the maximum resistance is from the red `Sports' device.

I'm a runner and have previously struggled to understand what it is that prevents me from improving on my race times. I plumped for the red POWERBreathe Sports model to help with my lung capacity.

The product is well made and professionally packaged. It comes with complete instructions, a CD, a black carry bag, a nose clip and a small sample of sterilising tablets. I think that I've probably made the correct decision by selecting the red Sports model. Set at the lowest resistance it is already works the muscles of the diaphragm without being excessively difficult and with plenty of scope for adjusting it to a much greater resistance.

After three weeks of use I've made it to about a third of the way up the resistance range, so plenty to go at yet. I can really feel the difference and the improvement in my breathing capacity. I can also measure the day-on-day improvement as I move up the resistance scale.

The POWERBreathe is really easy to keep clean; it can be washed and rinsed easily and quickly. It comes apart and is re-assembled easily. You could also buy any baby sterilising tablets to keep it clean in the long term.

On higher resistance settings it is hard work, like other reviewers my ears can pop, but I suspect that this simply means that the resistance is too high and this seems to stop if I move it down a little.

So, has it improved my race times? Well no, not so you'd notice. Breathing does seem to be easier and I do note some improvement with breathing efficiency, but this doesn't translate into better race times. I have however noticed an improvement in my swimming; I can really get that air into the lungs much quicker than I could.

So in conclusion. The POWERBreathe is well made and does exactly what it says it does. It takes very little time (<5 minutes per day) to complete the exercise, is easily cleaned and you really will feel the difference. The claims for it improving sports performance are less easily substantiated and the jury remains out on whether this was a wise buy.

I chose the red version. As an averagely fit amature I am still close to the bottom of the adjustment scale, so now wonder if the next model down might have been more appropriate. The device is well made and the DVD has a useful instruction section. The rest of the DVD is a bit tedious though. A bit pricey for what it it, but I guess you are paying for the design, which is novel.
