THE SCIENCE
BEHIND AIROFIT

Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) is a method used by professionals across healthcare, physiotherapy, and elite sports to strengthen the lungs and breathing system.

WHAT IS RMT?

Respiratory muscle training exercises the breathing muscles

Every breath requires coordinated work of many muscles. When all these are strong and efficient, your breathing system is well-oiled.

With simple inhale and exhale exercises through differing resistance levels, RMT trains your diaphragm, abs, intercostals and accessory muscles.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Dumbbell for your diaphragm

Think of respiratory muscle training as a workout for your breathing muscles, much like lifting weights strengthens your arms or legs by adding resistance. RMT follows the same principle.

When you want to build muscle, you introduce resistance to challenge your body. As your respiratory strength improves, you can gradually increase the resistance, just as you would with weight training.

When can you see the results?

Research shows that to see and measure results, respiratory muscle training should be done consistently for 5–10 minutes a day over a period of 4–6 weeks. Once you reach your peak performance, train every other day to preserve muscle strength.
