The Science behind Airofit
Read about the scientific research behind Airofit and RMT, on sports, well-being, and health.
Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT)
By specifically targeting the muscles involved with breathing, Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) allows users to develop bigger, stronger, and more efficient respiratory muscles. From daily breathing to athletic performance and breathwork, RMT makes every breath easier, providing more oxygen when you need it.
Airofit in Research
Exercise effect
Students at Manchester Metropolitan University significantly increased their exercise efficiency and respiratory strength in just 4 weeks.
27.5%
Increase in diaphragm thickness
32.5%
Increase in respiratory strength on average
7%

Accuracy of Airofit
Researchers at the University of Thessaly compared the medically approved and widely utilised MicroRPM device to the Airofit training system.
There was no significant difference between the measurements (Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures) recorded on the MircoRPM and the Airofit Pro.
Treating long-COVID
Researchers at the University of Ulm, Germany, investigated the benefits of using Airofit and RMT as a treatment option for individuals suffering from Long-COVID.Â

Airofit as a rehabilitation tool
Patients undergoing a study at Palacký University Olomouc, preferred Airofit over other rehabilitation protocols due to the ease of use in their journey to recover from lung transplantation.Â
80%
Prefer Airofit over face-to-face rehabilitation
100%
Prefer Airofit over other RMT devices
There was no significant difference between the measurements (Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures) recorded on the MircoRPM and the Airofit Pro.
Airofit concept has been tested and proven
AMBU International has conducted a clinical survey regarding the effect Airofit has on exercise performance. The study was based on expiratory and inspiratory resistance training. The performance effect was measured in a standard Cooper running test before and after a two-month trial. 68 people were divided into 3 groups, which spent 8 weeks training with different resistance levels.
Group 1 was a control group and trained with virtually no resistance -0.5%. Group 2 trained with 33% resistance, while Group 3 had the difficult task of 50% resistance training. The results show that those in Group 1 (control group) increased their performance by 0.5%, Group 2 improved by 8% and Group 3 improved athletic performance by 15%. This proves that the higher the training intensity using Airofit, the stronger the user’s respiratory muscles become, thereby enabling higher performance.
