RESPIRATORY TRAINING FOR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

Build the breathing capacity your performance demands.

Train both inhalation and exhalation at high volume. Build respiratory endurance, feel less gassed and recover faster between hard efforts.

BWB-specific research has been published in Warsaw, with ongoing work at UBC. Duke University physician-researchers have used Isocapnic systems in clinical research and special-operations performance training.

Why complete respiratory training matters.

Unlike resistance-only trainers, BWB supports sustained, high-volume training of both inhalation and exhalation. Its calibrated rebreathing circuit recaptures a controlled portion of exhaled air while continuously admitting fresh air to maintain CO₂ and support normal oxygen saturation.

Breathing Capacity

Build the usable volume of air you can move and sustain under load.

Respiratory Endurance

Condition demanding ventilation so breathing is less likely to limit repeated hard efforts.

Full-Cycle Strength

Train powerful, controlled inhalation and exhalation through a greater range of motion.

Control and Recovery

Use app-guided protocols to challenge CO₂ tolerance, breathing control and recovery between efforts.

DEVICE + APP + KNOWLEDGE

A complete training system, not just a breathing device.

01

The Device

The BWB trains inhalation and exhalation at high volume while its calibrated rebreathing circuit helps maintain CO₂ and support normal oxygen saturation.

02

The App

Guided sessions, progressive programs and pacing tools give every workout a purpose. The app is included with no subscription.

03

The Knowledge

Use the manual, research library and advanced protocols to progress from your first warm-up to sport-specific and advanced training.

Just a few weeks of practice but I already feel a change in running. Heart rate is lover on very easy runs. On the other side I get it up higher in hard running but still doesn’t feel like the heart rate is so high. Very interesting and love to see what happens after a longer period. I’m now at Master World Championship in Gothenburg running several races and have it with me so I can keep up my practice

I think it’s a great tool for a lot of different things. I’ve connected some athletes with it to use for respiratory warm ups, intervals, and race day warm ups.

Been using BWB for a few years now. Super simple! Compact and easy to travel with. I use it everyday as part of my daily training routine. I also get a ton of benefit to using it at altitude. Thanks Coach Luke, Dr Sellars and the Isocapnic team for all the help! Best in the world!!
