POWERbreathe International Ltd has announced the launch of its innovative smart breathing training system, designed to naturally enhance fitness levels, reduce blood pressure, improve sleep, and support heart and lung health—all achievable with just 30 breaths, twice daily.
The POWERbreathe Plus IMT, central to the system, has long been used by respiratory patients and elite athletes alike. It provides resistance as users inhale, strengthening breathing muscles through a process called Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT). This technique improves breathing stamina and lung efficiency, delivering a host of health benefits.
With the addition of the Smart Adaptor and the ActiBreathe® app, the system evolves into an intelligent training platform. Users can access strength tests, track progress, receive real-time feedback, and follow personalised training plans, transforming the device, often described as “dumbbells for your diaphragm,” into a comprehensive fitness tool.
“Since introducing the first mechanical breathing trainer to the NHS in the 1990s, our devices have changed the face of respiratory muscle training globally, having been recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO) and extensively studied in international clinical research,” said Harry Brar, Managing Director of POWERbreathe International.
“In recent years, clinical studies highlighting the broader mental and physical health benefits of Inspiratory Muscle Training has led to a surge in demand for our products among everyday health and wellness enthusiasts, and we have revolutionised to meet these needs.
“Today’s launch reflects our commitment to delivering an optimised experience for all POWERbreathe users—whether they are using the device under medical supervision, with a trainer, or independently. The system’s unique features are designed to maximise health and fitness goals, enhance motivation and aid adherence so users can fully experience the life changing benefits of our breathing trainers.”
The POWERbreathe Plus IMT has been used in hundreds of medical and sports research studies. It is scientifically proven to increase breathing strength and stamina and reduce breathing fatigue in people with medical conditions, and in sports for improving athletic performance. It was the intervention used in the landmark study from the University of Colorado which found POWERbreathe training lowers blood pressure at least as much if not more than current medications and regular aerobic activity.

Dr. Sabrina Brar, Chief Future Officer at POWERbreathe, added: “The new system will optimise breathing training for everyone, particularly those training at a professional level because it now acts as a ‘smart trainer’ providing the specific guidance needed to enhance respiratory muscle performance. This translates into improved athletic performance, whether it’s for endurance training or recovery. For the first time, athletes have access to detailed, real-time insights that allow for precise adjustments in their training.”
