Diving

New research shows that inspiratory muscle training improves underwater

swimming performance. US researchers at the University of Buffalo Centre

for Research in Special Environments have recently published evidence1 that

confirms what POWERbreathe® customers have been telling us for years…

“POWERbreathe training improves diving and swim performance”

The research was published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology,

and involved “fit swimmers”. Underwater fin swimming endurance in

SCUBA was 66% longer after just four weeks of respiratory training, whilst

swim endurance on the surface with snorkel was increased by 33%. The

divers also consumed 8% less oxygen, and adopted a deeper, slower

breathing pattern after the respiratory training.
