What is the difference in flow resistance training and threshold resistance training?
Flow resistance training is to repetitiously restrict the volume of air flow. It is an approach that was designed to exercise, but not strengthen breathing muscles. Isolated threshold resistance training, like weight training, is a work load program with incremental increases as the muscles strengthen. This is true training, not just conditioning, and is the only methods used by PowerLung. It is like breathing through a series of drinking straws that decrease in size. Many less expensive exercisers use this approach.
