Respiratory muscle training

Respiratory muscle training is a technique that aims to improve the function of the respiratory muscles with certain exercises. It consists of breathing exercises and other techniques that increase endurance and strength of the respiratory muscles. As a result, this type of training helps to improve and facilitate breathing.

Typically, this workout is recommended for people with breathing problems such as asthma, COPD, bronchitis, or lung bloating. However, various studies have also recognized benefits for healthy athletes who train respiratory muscles - and for this reason this type of training is now used worldwide by athletes in a wide variety of sports.

The basics of respiratory muscle training

The respiratory muscle training is based on a mechanism that can be summarized in three points.

  1. Optimization of blood circulation

  2. Attenuation of central fatigue

  3. Reduction of respiratory effort from the periphery

The benefits of respiratory muscle training

Some studies have shown that respiratory muscle training has a variety of benefits. Both healthy athletes and those with respiratory problems report the following benefits from respiratory muscle training.

  • Good body reaction

The body responds to AMT by adapting to the additional stress factor and trying to strengthen the respiratory system in order to better cope with the new challenge.

Very beneficial metabolic responses can also arise, such as respiratory muscle fatigue, lactate fluctuation, oxygen uptake kinetics, breathing patterns and heart rate.

  • Structural and functional adaptation

The respiratory muscles react to training stimuli just like the skeletal muscles. Consequently, adaptive reactions are triggered with regard to the function and structure of the muscles.

Structural adaptation – the muscle changes and has increased thickness.

Functional adaptation - there are serious improvements in exhalation, inhalation peaks, speed, strength, power and maximum inhalation and endurance performance.

  • Performance improvement

The adaptation of the muscles as well as the improvement of their functionality and their increase in efficiency result in an increase in the sporting performance of athletes who train the respiratory muscles.

How the Phantom training mask helps with breathing muscle training

With the training mask from Phantom you and your breathing muscles are offered a completely different experience during training. Breathing is the lifeblood of every person and athlete, but we often don't pay enough attention to it. This changes with the Phantom training mask. It puts your breathing at the center of your training so that you can work specifically to overcome both mental and physical barriers to your breathing. The Phantom training mask is the perfect tool for this because you can use it to directly address your breathing muscles

Strengthen the respiratory muscles

With the Phantom training mask you can strengthen your breathing muscles (especially the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm) by breathing against resistance. Because of this resistance, your muscles have to work harder to get air into your body. This extra effort makes your breathing muscles stronger, allowing them to work longer and more efficiently. You can also use the Phantom training mask to adjust the resistance during training using a patented system, so you never have to interrupt your workout.

Condition booster

The Phantom training mask is your personal fitness booster because with it you will improve both your strength and your endurance. Your stressed breathing muscles are forced to work at a higher level of performance. This will, in turn, make you a fitter, faster and stronger athlete.

Promoting mental and physical performance

With the Phantom training mask, your concentration is placed on your breathing. Focusing on breathing brings a whole new aspect to your sport that has probably been neglected before. There is enormous potential for improvement here, which you can exploit with the Phantom training mask. In this way you can increase not only your physical but also your mental fitness. As you can see, the Phantom training mask can be a great help in your athlete life in many ways.
