What is your Respiratory Status?
Structurally Limited (Technique and Volume Focus)

If your profile shows that you are structurally limited but functionally advanced—indicating strong coordination and well-refined respiratory strength—then the best way to build a balanced respiratory system is by focusing on Technique and/or Volume programs. These structural workouts are designed to enhance your lung capacity, improve breathing efficiency, and strengthen your overall respiratory structure. By targeting these areas, you’ll make steady progress toward achieving a more well-rounded and optimized respiratory system.

Functionally Limited (Coordination and Strength Focus)

If your profile shows that you are structurally more developed, which gives you a solid foundation to build on. To optimize your training, focus on programs labeled Coordination and/or Strength. These workouts are designed to refine the functional aspects of your system, such as improving breathing control, efficiency under load, and respiratory muscle strength. Balancing your system begins with targeting functional improvements.

Balanced (General or Balanced Focus)

If your profile shows that you are not structurally or functionally dominant, you should be aiming to strike a good balance between structural and functional development in your respiratory system. To maintain and enhance this harmony, we recommend programs labeled General or Balanced, which include both structural and functional workouts. This approach will ensure steady improvement in both aspects, keeping your system in top shape.
