Singers
Based upon our scientific understanding of the response of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) in athletes (i.e. the muscles we use to breathe), a number of factors have proved to be of benefit to performing artists, including singers / vocalists, actors, teachers and public speakers.
A study group of singers who’d undertaken POWERbreathe training reported an improvement in their singing ability and commented that their voices felt “warmed-up” after using POWERbreathe.
And in 2007, a group of Pineapple Cheerleaders participated in a 6-week intensive vocal fitness program that incorporated POWERbreathe:
"Since regularly practicing with the POWERbreathe, I feel that my cheers and chants have developed a better sound and have a more rounded tone...Having completed the POWERbreathe program at the same time as working on High School Musical, I was pleased to see that both my vocal range and audibility had significantly increased by the end of the 6 week run. Throughout the later shows, my tone of voice remained consistent with the same audibility and I felt that I was genuinely less tired by these last shows compared to the earlier ones."

POWERbreathe inspiratory muscle training, for:
POWERbreathe inspiratory muscle training (breathing muscle training) has been developed and validated by professional sports scientists and researchers in inspiratory muscle physiology and boasts numerous research papers attesting to its efficacy.
POWERbreathe Inspiratory Muscle Training is scientifically proven to:
- Enhances the ability to inflate the lungs (take deeper breaths)
- Enhances the ability to control the breath
- Enhances the ability to sustain forceful breathing (breathing does not become fatigued)
- Training may affect the intrinsic laryngeal muscles which control the action of the larynx

POWERbreathe inspiratory muscle training, for:
- Learning the principles of deep breathing for a better performance
- Learning to control the breath for maintaining good form
- More efficient and thorough warm-up prior to rehearsal or performance
POWERbreathe inspiratory muscle training (breathing muscle training) has been developed and validated by professional sports scientists and researchers in inspiratory muscle physiology and boasts numerous research papers attesting to its efficacy.
POWERbreathe Inspiratory Muscle Training is scientifically proven to:
- Improve inspiratory muscle strength by 31.2%
- Improve inspiratory muscle endurance by 27.8%
- Reduce whole body effort during exercise/activities
- Improve performance within 4-weeks (following tried & tested training regimen)
