Program Goals.
Breath training focuses onTeaching the subject correct breathing, both as a breathing technique and as the employment of muscles (biomechanics) to support function. This program improves a set of specific parameters, recovering optimal respiratory function or enhancing it should it be required.
Program objectives include:
- Improved lung mechanics and gas exchange
- Improvement of specific muscle function
- Improvement of aerobic capacity
- Improvement of aerobic endurance (for the strengthening program)
These goals are monitored through the use of various devices used for initial diagnostics and evaluation of progression.
Program structure
Breath Training is divided into 2 separate modules: a 3-week module directed at respiratory reeducation and an 11-week module focused on strengthening the function
Re-education Program (3 weeks, 1 meeting per week)
– Initial assessment of respiratory capacity and related biomechanics.: A team (consisting of a breath trainer, osteopath, and physician) analyzes individual respiratory capacity, left and right lung function, and use of respiratory muscles.
– Longevity Doctor anamnestic examination.: If the subject is not from one of our diagnostic pathways, he or she undergoes a thorough medical history examination to assess habits, behaviors, familiarity, and medical history.
– Training program combined Spirotiger + osteopathic session:: 60′ session combining 15′ of Spirotiger training and 45′ of unblocking respiratory muscles.
– Home training program: short work sheet to be performed on a daily basis
– Final evaluation of respiratory capacity and related biomechanics: evaluation and quantification of the improvements achieved
Strengthening program (11 weeks, 1 meeting per week)
– The first 3 weeks overlap with the Re-education Program module.
– Virtual altitude training.: 60′ sessions combining 15′ Spirotiger training + 40′ hypoxia training with ReOxy.
– Final evaluation of respiratory capacity and related biomechanics: evaluation and quantification of the improvements achieved
Medical Staff
Breath Training is carried out by a multidisciplinary team consisting of:
– Breath trainer: responsible for evaluating respiratory function and specific training program.
– Osteopath: performs postural and muscle assessments related to respiratory function, guiding the unblocking and reeducation of muscle function to support.
– Longevity Doctor: oversees the entire program, coordinates the team and evaluates progress, suggesting any changes to optimize achievement of goals.
Assessments and Controls
The program takes place over 3 to 11 weeks and includes respiratory function assessments at the beginning, after 3 weeks, and at the end of the strengthening course:
– respiratory capacity assessment : use of Spirometry and VO2max devices.
– respiratory function assessment: use of the Spirotiger
– respiratory biomechanical assessment: use of Spinal Mouse for rib cage articulation and osteopathic evaluation for the muscular part
Program Conclusion and Final Evaluation
At the end of each module, initial assessments with quantification of benchmarks are repeated in order to assess progress.
Timing and Results
The entire process of the program can be carried out within a day or a week at most, it is developed in several stages:
- Before the clinic visit: blood and urine tests
- In clinic: breath biomechanical assessment (60′) and muscle-articular assessment (60′) are fixed after 3 days
- In clinic: following previous evaluations, CPET assessment (45′) and visit with sports physician (30′) with final evaluation, recommendations, and issuance of sports certificate are performed
The results of the tests and diagnostic examinations will be collected and analyzed, with the final production of a Personal Sport Book summarizing all the information and recommendations for the patient.
Access method
The Breath Training program is available by appointment and consists of weekly meetings. The duration of each session is about 60′ subject to evaluation moments that may require about 30′ additional time.
Preliminary Recommendations
Prior to the start of the program, it is recommended to perform one of the checkup programs made available. If a preliminary checkup has not been performed, the program can be preceded by a series of diagnostic evaluations to further tailor therapeutic interventions.
Cost and Conventions
The Public Price for the Rehabilitation Module is €665, while for the Strengthening Module it is €1980 except for the need to add the initial medical history examination in the case of clients who have not already done diagnostic modules in the clinic. The program is not reimbursable if in the presence of pathologies of the respiratory area.
