Integrate PowerLung with Sprint Training

In 2000, while Greg Wells, Ph.D. was doing the study of PowerLung with elite Canadian swimmers he began to consider other ways to implement PowerLung into the training program. In our June newsletter we have talked about sprint activities. This is one of the areas where where Dr. Wells saw an easy way to integrate PowerLung for training and performance improvement.

The flexibility to utilize PowerLung in different ways and at different strengths makes it uniquely adaptable for training programs. This means the coach or athlete can design PowerLung training to integrate during all phases of the training: initial, peak, and rest to help athletes maintain breathing abilities and levels without the requirement to perform athletically to do so.

A description of how Dr. Wells integrated the PowerLung training with swimming training is available in our User Tips section.

If you or your coach has a tip or program for using PowerLung please let us know so we can share it with others. In the meantime, check out Dr. Greg Wells Sprint Laps Training Program.
