Dyspnea is one of the cardinal symptoms of COPD, leading to exercise intolerance and reduced QOL. Evidence shows that regular RMT- respiratory muscle training, strengthens the respiratory muscles, significantly reducing dyspnea and increasing exercise tolerance.
This effect is maintained and is accumulative, as long as RMT is continued. Respiratory muscle training (RMT) with the Breather improves inspiratory muscle strength and endurance, reducing breathlessness and increasing exercise capacity in people with COPD, leading to an improved quality of life.
