Tips on training
Always pay attention to breathing frequency first. As soon as you can maintain this at a good
level, focus on breathing depth.
If you want to change the breathing frequency during training, you can do so by pressing the
+ and - buttons on the device. Pressing the respective button once changes the frequency by
one breath per minute.
If the breathing depth feedback is always orange, try breathing deeper. If the colour still does
not change, you should reduce the breathing depth in the settings menu. If the breathing
depth feedback is always blue, increase the breathing depth in the settings menu (you are
breathing deeper than prescribed).
Training can be continued with both permanent orange and permanent blue feedback. The
evaluation after the training session will then show what you have achieved in reality.
The feedback from the device always refers to the measured values over the last 3 breathing
cycles. This means that adjustments in your breathing always appear on the device with some
delay.
Vary your posture during the training sessions. Prop yourself on your elbows, stand up, walk
around – this way you will directly feel the different stresses caused by the change in post-
ure.
Strength training
You can start strength training at the same time as endurance training. We recommend that
you perform strength training before endurance training if you want to do both types of trai-
ning during the same training session.
You do not need the breathing bag for strength training, because regulation of your breathing
air is not necessary in this mode. However, you can leave the bag attached to the device du-
ring strength training. This prevents moisture from dripping out of the air guide.
In strength mode you have the option of training inspiration, expiration or both. Initially, we
recommend that you train inspiration and expiration separately and always train both, i.e. in-
spiration and expiration consecutively, during one training session.
Assessment and adjustment of the parameters
Before the first strength training session, an assessment must be carried out to determine
your basic individual training settings.
During the assessment for inspiration and expiration strength training, the maximum pressu-
res you can achieve in the device by inhaling and exhaling are measured. The maximum pres-
sure that can be achieved by expiration is often higher than the pressure that can be achie-
ved by inspiration. This is also why two tests must be performed.
