POWERbreathe EMT EX1 Series

Manufacturer: POWERbreathe

The POWERbreathe EX1 series is the next step in expiratory muscle training (EMT), designed to strengthen expiratory muscles and improve vocal and musical strength, stability, endurance and power. The device’s optimised airflow ensures effective training, and with 11 adjustable resistance levels, resistance can be increased as users’ expiratory muscles strengthen. The EX1’s ergonomic mouthpiece, softer and more refined than its original design, ensures comfort during use. 

Description
The POWERbreathe EX1 series is the next step in expiratory muscle training (EMT), designed to strengthen expiratory muscles and improve vocal and musical strength, stability, endurance and power. The device’s optimised airflow ensures effective training, and with 11 adjustable resistance levels, resistance can be increased as users’ expiratory muscles strengthen. The EX1’s ergonomic mouthpiece, softer and more refined than its original design, ensures comfort during use. 
The POWERbreathe EX1 devices are designed to improve expiratory muscle strength, function, and endurance. To achieve this, it creates resistance to the exhale using a precisely calibrated, spring-loaded ‘expiratory pressure threshold’ valve. The EX1 series includes four models Medic, Light, Medium, and Heavy resistance.
