How You Benefit

Cycling Training


PowerLung breathing training expands lung capacity, increases oxygen intake, and lowers your heart rate when training and racing. Increased oxygen intake increases energy production through faster glucose and lactic acid breakdown, releasing more energy for your cycle training and racing fitness.

Increasing your oxygen supply through PowerLung training will result in greater energy production for more explosive breaking and sprinting from the peleton or when racing in the velo. You will attain faster and easier pace-line speeds on the road and in velodrome team races. On the tour, climbers and respected mountain men have come to understand and covet the endurance value of PowerLung training when handling the climbs, attempted blasts at the bottom of the wall and from the punishment of consecutive days of racing in the mountains.

All of these training result benefits and many more are directly attributed to the improved breathing strength, power and endurance performance provided by all 12 sets of your respiratory muscles. Bonking is an event usually caused when poorly or un-strength trained respiratory muscles reach their ultimate fatigue point no matter what type of bike you race. Your signs that respiratory fatigue has hit you is when you notice how shallow your breathing has become, you can't get a deep breath anymore, your leg muscles burn and feel on fire and finally your bike speed dies on you.

Independent supporting studies show that the muscles of the respiratory system are the single and biggest limiting factor to limit your cycling training and race performances.
