AYO BT is the world’s first modular diaphragmatic breathing training respirator. Designed in Australia with patented innovation, it is an essential tool to train and optimize diaphragmatic breathing through the nose.

AYO BT works by adjusting the air you breathe to reduce the breath and make it slower and longer which activates your diaphragm, the main breathing muscle you must use to achieve normal breathing. It is also designed to extend your airway thus helping condition the air you breathe and train your tolerance to higher CO2 thus reducing breathlessness and enhancing breathing efficiency. Furthermore, the unique design helps warm and moisten the air when it is cold and dry – alleviating the culprit of exercise-induced asthma.

Using AYO BT over a period of time will train you to use your diaphragm naturally and optimize your breathing through the nose. It does all these without having to focus on your breathing all the time, thus making it easier to adapt and better your general health or sports performance.

HOW DOES Diaphragmatic BREATHING TRAINER IT WORK?

How you breathe can make a profound difference to you, no matter whether you are an ordinary person, an elite athlete, or an asthmatic. Diaphragmatic breathing is proven to be the most healthy and efficient way of breathing for mankind.

AYO BT works by adjusting and conditioning the air you breathe to reduce the breath and make it slower and longer which activates your diaphragm, the main breathing muscle you must use to achieve normal breathing.

AYO BT is also designed to extend your airway thus helping condition the air you breathe and train your tolerance to higher CO2 thus reducing breathlessness and enhancing breathing efficiency. Furthermore, the unique design helps warm and moisten the air when it is cold and dry – alleviating the culprit of exercise-induced asthma.

Using AYO BT over a period of time will train you to use your diaphragm naturally and optimize your breathing through the nose. It does all these without having to focus on your breathing all the time, thus making it easier to adapt and better your general health or sports performance.

CHOOSE YOUR TRAINING FOCUS – AYO BT CONFIGURATIONS

AYO BT offers you easily configurable training options. Click on each tab to see what type of configuration suits your needs.

The BTi module is fitted to the left side of the mask, and BTo module is fitted to the right side of the mask.

In the default configuration, where the BTi is fitted to the left side of the mask, and the BTo to the right side of the mask, the BTi can limit the air intake by adjusting the air inlet so that, the air is restricted thus increasing the resistance to breathe.

AYO BT in this configuration will focus on training and activating Inspiratory muscles.

When properly adjusted, the training will promote the following to your breathing:

A slower and longer inhalation: if you try to breathe very hard, you wouldn’t get enough air as you would normally expect without wearing the respirator, and this is because the inhalation resistance through the small inlet at a high flow rate will be too big to breathe, thus leading you to breathe slower and longer.
When you breathe slower and longer, you could easily breathe through your nose, and more importantly, your diaphragm is more engaged.
When the air intake is reduced, depending on the exercise intensity and the BTi inlet setting, it can create some air hunger, so even if you perform a full stroke of diaphragm movements, hyperventilation can be avoided.x

The BTi module is fitted to the right side of the mask, and no module is fitted to the left side of the mask.

In this configuration, the BTi on the right side will independently limit the exhalation by adjusting the air opening so that, the exhaled air is restricted thus increasing the resistance to exhale.

AYO BT in this configuration will train and activate exhalatory muscles.

When properly adjusted, the training will promote the following to your breathing:

A slower and longer exhalation.
When you breathe slower and longer, you could easily breathe through your nose, and more importantly, expiratory diaphragm muscles are more engaged.
When the exhalation is slowed, depending on the exercise intensity and the BTi setting, it can create some air hunger, so even if you perform a full stroke of diaphragm movements, hyperventilation can be avoided.

The BTi module is fitted to the right side of the mask, and BTo module is fitted to the left side of the mask.

In this configuration, no air will enter from the left side of the mask, and both inhalation and exhalation will go through the BTi on the right side of the mask. Therefore, by adjusting the air opening at BTi, both the inhalation and the exhalation will be restricted to the same amount, thus increasing the resistance to both inhalation and exhalation.

AYO BT in this configuration will train and activate both Inspiratory and exhalatory muscles.

When properly adjusted, the training will promote the following to your breathing:

A slower and longer inhalation and exhalation.
When you breathe slower and longer, you could easily breathe through your nose, and more importantly, both your inspiratory and expiratory diaphragm muscles are engaged.
When the breath is reduced, depending on the exercise intensity and the BTi setting, it can create some air hunger, so even if you perform a full stroke of diaphragm movements, hyperventilation can be avoided.
This training can create deep and symmetric diaphragm movement that trains both inspiratory and expiratory muscles at the same time.

Note:

No independent control for inhalation and exhalation in this configuration.

BTi module is fitted on each side of the mask.

(only 1 BTi module is included in the standard AYO BT product. Individual BT modules can be purchased here.)

In this configuration will focus on training and activating the exhalatory muscles while providing some degree of control on the inspiratory muscles.

When properly adjusted, the training will promote the following to your breathing:

A slower and longer inhalation and exhalation.
When you breathe slower and longer, you could easily breathe through your nose, and more importantly, both your inspiratory and expiratory diaphragm muscles are engaged.
When the breath is reduced, depending on the exercise intensity and the BTi setting, it can create some air hunger, so even if you perform a full stroke of diaphragm movements, hyperventilation can be avoided.
This training can create deep and semi-symmetric diaphragm movement that trains both inspiratory and expiratory muscles at the same time.

Note:

Independent control for Expiration but semi-independent control for inhalation in this configuration.
