A complete guide to hypercapnic-hypoxic training, simulated altitude, independent BWB research, acute mountain sickness evidence and safety.
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is the classic tax you pay when you gain altitude faster than your physiology can keep up. Headache, nausea, fatigue, poor sleep, that “my brain is wrapped in cotton” feeling. It is common, it is miserable, and in some cases it can progress to serious conditions like high altitude cerebral edema […]
Elite professional cyclists already train at the edge of human capacity. Their lungs are huge, their hearts powerful, and their muscles efficient. Pushing their performance even a few percent higher is notoriously difficult. Yet a new study shows that adding Isocapnic respiratory training moved the needle for these world-class riders. If athletes at this level […]
A new study has just been published in the peer-reviewed journal Biology by Tomasz Kowalski of Warsaw, Poland. Keen observers may remember some of his earlier work with speed skaters and triathletes, which confirmed the physiologic benefits of respiratory muscle training. In his most recent publication, he investigates the effects of the BWB (Breathe Way […]
When we think about the factors limiting human endurance, our minds often turn to the heart’s ability to pump oxygen-rich blood or the muscles’ capacity to utilize that oxygen. But what if the lungs played a bigger role than we previously thought? Olivia Ferguson, a researcher at the University of British Columbia (UBC), is at […]
Cyril Ricci’s latest research, Developments and Adaptations of the Ventilatory System after 11 Months of Specific Training, is a game-changer in the world of performance training. This study delivers compelling evidence that structured ventilatory training, centered around isocapnic methods, produces substantial improvements in both inspiratory and expiratory capacities—validating the principles we’ve long championed with the […]
We would like to highlight an article written by Heidi Goldman in the November addition of the Harvard Health Letter. Read the letter here. As winter approaches, so does the season of colds, flus, and other respiratory illnesses. While many focus on preventing illness through vaccinations, handwashing, and proper hygiene, it is equally important to address what […]
By: Dr. Andrew Sellars In the pursuit of athletic excellence, finding better methods to enhance recovery between high-intensity efforts is incredibly important. Isocapnic training with the BWB is proving to be a game-changer for athletes seeking a fuller, faster recovery. This innovative approach, rooted in controlled breathing exercises, is garnering attention for its potential to […]
by: Dr Andrew Sellars Imagine reaching the peak of your workout, pushing your body to its limits, only to be held back by the breathlessness that leaves you gasping for air. This scenario is all too familiar for many athletes. However, training with the Isocapnic respiratory trainer is the key to overcoming this barrier. By […]
by: Dr. Andrew Sellars What if there were an scientifically verified training technique that not only enhances your fitness but also holds the potential to extend your lifespan? When you make training with your Isocapnic respiratory trainer part of your routine, you are improving your fitness as well as your longevity. By improving your Peak […]
