Breathing Dumbbell for Athletic Ability

You have about ten pounds of breathing muscles in your body that are at rest, and they have not been trained effectively. If you haven't trained the breathing muscles of inhalation and exhalation, you won't be able to get your power up to full strength. Activate this respiratory muscle with Breathing Dumbbell to effectively boost your body's power and endurance.

Respiratory muscles are divided into inspiratory muscles (mainly diaphragm, external intercostal muscles) and expiratory muscles (internal intercostal muscles, external oblique abdominal muscles, internal oblique abdominal muscles, transverse abdominal muscles, rectus abdominis muscles). Because the lungs themselves do not have muscles, need to rely on the respiratory muscle groups to assist the gas in the respiratory tract in and out, in order to maintain the survival of life and limb activities, must be from the air intake of human organs metabolism and the various parts of the muscle contraction of the oxygen needed, the carbon dioxide produced by the discharge of tissue metabolism, in order to maintain the balance of the body's arterial blood gases and the value of acid and alkaline.

Have you ever felt a very intense but fleeting sense of exhaustion while training? Exhaustion is constant but very short-lived. There's a word that specifically describes this short-lived exhaustion caused by respiratory muscle weakness: Metaboreflex. (The metabolic reflex is diaphragmatic fatigue, when the body's blood vessels constrict, reducing blood flow to the extremities and thus providing more blood to the body's core functioning muscles.)

During high-intensity strenuous exercise, when the diaphragm as well as other respiratory muscles are fatigued and contracted, reflex metabolism is activated and afferent nerve fibres are excited (type III and IV afferent nerves), causing strong sympathetic activation. This causes systemic vasoconstriction, decreased oxygen transport, and fatigue of the exercising muscles, further causing enhanced dyspnoea. The respiratory muscles can be strengthened through breathing exercises to delay the onset of heavy feeling in the limbs.

Numerous studies have shown that breathing muscle training can improve endurance. Sports scientists have studied cyclists, swimmers and runners, and there is no doubt that inspiratory muscle training leads to better performance. These studies have shown that the respiratory muscles fatigue later and require less oxygen after respiratory training. As a result, the body does not feel as heavy and the mind is calmer, regardless of the type of exercise being performed.

VO2 Max is your body's ability to supply oxygen, that is, the maximum amount of oxygen that can be taken in as the intensity of exercise continues to increase. VO2 Max encompasses all the steps needed to provide energy to your muscles, including inhalation into the lungs, air transport through the bloodstream to the muscles, and uptake by the muscles themselves. Stronger respiratory muscles reduce your perception of exercise intensity, delay fatigue, and allow you to sustain higher loads for longer, which is the primary goal when increasing your maximal oxygen uptake.

  • Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max)
  • VO2max is also known as maximum oxygen consumption, maximum oxygen uptake or maximum aerobic capacity.
  • It refers to the maximum amount of oxygen taken up by the body and consumed by the tissue cells when the exercise intensity reaches the maximum.
  • VO2max is the best physiological indicator of cardiopulmonary function and maximum aerobic capacity.

The way you breathe and close your breath directly affects the nervous system more than anything else, such as ‘positive self-talk’, therapy to get to the root of your fears, or lucky underwear. Breathing directly affects heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety, and adrenaline production. Every breath you take sends signals to your brain via the vagus nerve. If your biomechanical breathing is not optimal, it will affect your heart rate and therefore make you more nervous.

If you are able to breathe accurately, you will be able to:
1. Lower your centre of gravity to make your body more stable.
2. Reduce unnecessary upper body movements.
3. Control your nervous system to avoid anxiety and use your energy to enhance your athletic performance.
4. Lower your heart rate and blood pressure more freely, and control stress hormones such as cortisol.
5. effectively provide oxygen to the body and brain, so that you continue to keep your mind sharp and calm.
6. Let your intuition become more accurate, and eliminate distractions in the mind.
7. Maintain focus in the long exercise.
 

The Breathing Dumbbell Fitness Edition has a total weight of 100g weight blocks (5 x 20g weight blocks) to effectively improve the strength and respiratory endurance of the respiratory muscles. Breathing Dumbbells activate the resting respiratory muscles in the body, allowing them to play a greater role in fitness and exercise, slowing down the metabolic reflexes and improving performance.

When using breathing dumbbells for respiratory endurance training, the weights need to be suspended in the air, and by keeping the weights suspended in the air to improve the ability to breathe accurately, it is more effective to improve the control of breath speed during each breath.

The Breathing Dumbbell uses a purely mechanical and very simple mode of operation to perform Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) and Exhalation Muscle Training. The respiratory muscle training process is accomplished by blowing/inhaling into the mouthpiece attached to the device. The applied expiratory/inspiratory pressure causes the breathing weights to rise, leaving the weights suspended in the transparent chamber.

The Breathing Dumbbell Fitness Edition allows you to stack up to 5 breathing weights together for breathing muscle training at different weights, switching freely between the 5 weight levels by increasing or decreasing the number of weights. As more breathing weights are used, the expiratory/inspiratory pressure required to lift the breathing weights increases.

Your worst enemy to be precise is tired and untrained breathing muscles. When the respiratory muscles are tired, you feel like you lack motivation, can't breathe, and have to wait for the burning and heaviness to leave your body.

It's time to adjust your training, and by training your respiratory muscles with Breathing Dumbbell, you can expect better endurance, better recovery, and an easier time getting into a state of athletic endurance.
