The Science Behind Breath Training

🧬

The Science of Respiratory Muscle Training

BreathBuddy is grounded in a well-established field known as Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) — a technique used to strengthen the muscles involved in breathing.

Every time you breathe, your diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract and relax to move air in and out of your lungs. While most people don't think of these as "trainable" muscles, they can absolutely be strengthened with consistent resistance — just like your biceps or legs.

How it works:BreathBuddy adds resistance to your inhale and exhale, forcing your breathing muscles to work harder. This resistance:

Activates and strengthens the diaphragm
Increases lung elasticity and capacity
Improves oxygen efficiency and breathing endurance

Why Breath Training Works Physiologically

The body relies on oxygen to perform at its best — whether you're running, lifting, recovering, or simply going through daily activities. But when your respiratory muscles are weak, your ability to breathe efficiently becomes a bottleneck for performance.

Here's what happens when you train with BreathBuddy:

The added resistance forces your diaphragm to contract more powerfully with every breath, making it stronger over time
Resistance promotes deeper breathing, which helps expand alveoli in the lungs for better oxygen exchange
Regular use improves neuromuscular coordination, allowing you to better regulate your breathing under stress

The Perfect Training Solution

Unlike cardio workouts, breath training offers these benefits without stressing your joints or taxing your entire body — making it ideal for athletes in training, people recovering from injury, or anyone looking to optimize their breathwork.
