I have started (one month now) a power breathing group among my high school band students. I bought a bunch of 3/4 inch pvc water valves and we do resistance breathing through them. The valve inlet forces the kids to have a round and open mouth and throat and the resistance on both inhalation and exhalation causes their chest wall and abdominal muscles to work harder than normal. They (and I) already notice a remarkable improvement in support and endurance. I had my wife (a physician) ask around and check out my plan, and all seems healthy and safe. If this thing works even better than the $3.00 valves we use, it could be wonderful.
