You train your legs. You train your heart. But what about the muscles responsible for 20,000+ breaths every day? ๐ซ
What if just 5โ10 minutes of respiratory training could change how you naturally breathe for the rest of your day?
Weโre seeing something fascinating at Isocapnic.
Some Breathe Way Better (BWB) users are reporting noticeable reductions in their resting respiratory rate after just a week or two of training.
Not because theyโre consciously slowing their breathing, but because their natural breathing patterns appear to be changing.
And the science gets even more interesting. ๐ฌ
Research into voluntary isocapnic hyperpnea (VIH) has demonstrated respiratory muscle adaptations, while a study by Kowalski and colleagues observed a significant reduction in cortisol immediately following a training session.
Our latest article explores:
๐ซ Why deeper, slower breathing may improve ventilatory efficiency
๐ง How COโ regulation influences blood flow to the brain
๐ฉธ The Bohr effect and oxygen delivery to tissues
๐ What research tells us about VIH and cortisol
๐ค Why resting and nighttime respiratory rates deserve more attention
Train your breathing for minutes. Explore what better breathing could mean for the rest of your day.
These are exciting early observations, and weโre committed to understanding them through science.
