Boost Performance

The patented Ultrabreathe is used by athletes and sportspeople the world over to supercharge their inspiratory muscles.

Using the principle of resistance training there are two key ways the Ultrabreathe can help give you the edge:

Warm up: Supplement your usual routine prior to full body workout or competition - traditional techniques tend to ignore the breathing muscles.

Performance: Follow our training regime for just 5 minutes per day to boost pulmonary capacity and endurance. Increase the resistance as lung function improves - and take advantage of the adjustable valve system which allows you to determine the moment resistance is experienced on inhalation.

Did you know that recent research indicates a connection between trained respiratory muscles and reduced lactate levels? Boutellier et al found that

- respiratory training significantly increased the endurance time of respiratory muscles

- respiratory trained subjects had lost the sensation of breathlessness

- blood lactate concentrations were reduced during post training exercise

In conclusion they speculate *  'that the reduction in blood lactate concentration was most likely caused by an improved lactate uptake by the trained respiratory muscles.' * (1998, Med Sci Sports Exerc 1998, Eur Jour Appl Physiol 1999)

Relief for breathlessness sufferers

Whilst there are many underlying causes of breathlessness such as asthma, emphysema and bronchitis, clinical research shows that improving the strength and durability of the muscles we use to breathe in - muscles which may have lost strength over the years due to poor breathing habits or simply the ageing process - can both significantly reduce the sensation of breathlessness and lead to increased exercise tolerance and endurance.

Unfortunately for many breathlessness sufferers the level of physical exercise required to exercise these muscles is not an option. Indeed many find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of breathlessness and inactivity from which there seems no escape.

Now, thanks to the Ultrabreathe, you can relieve the symptoms of breathlessness by giving your lungs a daily workout from the comfort of the armchair without the need for vigorous physical exercise.

5 minutes a day is all it takes!

To begin with you set the resistance at a low level, gradually increasing it as your lung power improves. After a few weeks you should be starting to enjoy the benefits of Ultrabreathe training - and after a month or so just a few days training a week should be sufficient to maintain your enhanced lung function.

Indeed a survey revealed that, of those who had used their Ultrabreathe for at least a month, 86% reported improvements in their 'breathing / physical condition.' Read below what some of them had to say.

Some comments from Ultrabreathe users

In 1999 Tangent Healthcare mailed 200 Ultrabreathe users asking them to complete a questionnaire. This is what they, and others, have to say:

I am well impressed...it works so well that it is now an integral part of my training as I train for a sponsored 400km run.   B. Maitland, Aberdeen

I think it is an excellent product and found it does what is claimed...I can now walk any distance without having to stop.   O. Mills, Norfolk

I feel that my lungs are stronger now than at any time in my life.   K. Hill, London

This device you make is brilliant for the heart and lungs. I have found just after a weeks use my recovery rate has improved by 50%.   RFN Treliving, BFPO

I sent off for the Ultrabreathe and now I couldn't do without it.   E.S., Essex

Hopefully one day on prescription.   P. Lewis, Essex

After using it a month I could breathe in longer and deeper.   V. Reay, Cleveland

After using it for a few months my lungs felt stronger as did my general physical condition.   L. Bazeley, Oxon

I've used your product 25 breaths in each morning and evening and really do feel so much better. Well done to you and your Company.   K. Curtis, Kent

My personal belief is that it should be on prescription...it creates that daily routine of respiratory exercise within your home so simply.   E. Percival, Kent

On the whole, any exercise that tones and strengthens the respiratory muscles is of benefit.   P. Haggard, West Sussex

I am a long time sufferer of breathing problems and your device is a godsend to me. It is part of my medical equipment and I cannot do without it.   P. Costelloe, Essex

It allows me to walk a little further without distress.   G. Skudder, Lancs.

I am enjoying walking again because I don't get so out of breath.   I. Carlton, Adelaide
