Lung Trainer - Training Program
There are many ways to increase lung capacity with your lung trainer, and in time you will choose the best increase lung capacity training exercise. in the mean time, we offer you the basic lung exercise steps.
The recommended use is 2 sets of 10 breathing repetitions twice each day. Each recommended use period takes about 5 minutes at most. A repetition begins when you breathe in and completely fill your lungs, and ends when you breathe out, completely emptying your lungs. When doing a repetition, you are completing a full range of motion in training your breathing muscles.
A complete set consists of a total of 10 repetitions. Perform the first 8 as discussed below:
Step 1: Breathe in through your Lung Trainer for 3 seconds. Fill your lungs as completely as possible in this frame. Listen for a smooth, full sound of air passing through your Lung Trainer.
Step 2: Breathe out through your Lung Trainer for 3 seconds. Completely empty your lungs at the end. Again, listen for a smooth, full sound of air passing through your Lung Trainer.
Performing the last 2 repetitions:
Step 3: When you reach the 9th and 10th repetition, try to breathe in and fill your lungs in 1 second, then breathe out and completely empty your lungs in 1 second.
Try your best to maintain a full range of motion, but breathe more quickly for the last 2 repetitions. It is more important to keep the full range of motion than to complete the repetition in 1 second. Do not be discouraged if you cannot do it. Remember that this is a new training program for you and you may not be perfect on the first try. Practice, train hard, and it will become like any other routine in your life. And remember to keep track of your performance with your Peak Flow Meter.
Step 4: As you begin to notice improvements in your breathing, provided that you continue to feel good after each lung training session, it is suggested that you use the venturi distiller to upscale the air resistance. You choose the resistance level and pace, but upscaling the resistance is the fastest way to get the results you want and the only way to continuously improve.

Clinical Evidence
High intensity inspiratory muscle training in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and severely reduced function:
''Inspiratory muscle training at high intensity loads significantly improved inspiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, and respiratory symptoms during daily activities and respiratory exertion.''

Inspiratory muscle training improves lung function and reduces exertional dyspnoea in mild / moderate asthmatics.
“The data are consistent with those of Weiner et al (1992) and confirm their hypothesis that improvements in MIP (maximum inspiratory pressure) and lung function translate into a reduction in exertional dyspnoea. In addition, the data suggests that where appropriate regimes are used, these changes are observed within 3 weeks of commencement of IMT and lead to an increase in patient's motivation to take exercise.''

Inspiratory Muscle Training in chronic airflow limitation: effect on exercise performance:
''We conclude that inspiratory muscle training using a load of 30% peak maximal inspiratory pressure improves dyspnoea, increases walking capacity, and reduces the metabolic cost of exercise.''

Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) reduces exertional breathlessness in healthy elderly men and women:
''It is accepted that respiratory muscle strength declines with advancing age and that inspiratory muscle weakness is associated with an increase in exertional breathlessness. Data suggests that IMT alleviates breathlessness in healthy elderly men and women and conveys considerable improvements in their quality of life."
