  1. Does anyone have real world experience with this apperatus? If no real world, has anyone seen an
    impartial analysis of this?

    The brand name is PowerLung, I don't know if there are others out there on the market. It is
    supposed to increase your capacity to use oxygen, making your breathing more efficient.

    Basically what I want to know is this: Is it VooDoo or is it Guru?

    Thanks,

    Simpson

  2. Voodoo....

    Ventilating air is not the limiting factor in exercise for healthy people. Even asthmatics get
    better results from medications.

    A friend of mine has researched and published in peer reviewed journals several studies showing that
    training respiratory muscles does little to improve performance. You can search PubMed for Williams
    (his last name and he currently is at Texas Tech). He did one study with the Miss State XC team for
    instances. A European researcher keeps finding a benefit, but no one else seems to be able to
    replicate his results.

    I'd have to agree. Lungs are not muscles... I'm not sure how this thing would work, but perhaps both
    of us are missing something.

    Nothing I saw on their webpage convinces me that we've missed anything. They're just appealing to
    the (incorrect) intuition that being out of breath implies that your performance is limited by your
    capacity to inhale, which is, as we all know, utter nonsense.

    Come on Oz, the guy's asking for experience. Directing him to a sales site (that when I checked,
    wasn't giving *any* information on the product) isn't really helpful.

    We both know (or strongly suspect) it's snake oil, why not say so?
