Abstract
Methods for improving respiratory effectiveness including inhaling a breath and, while continuously holding the breath, swimming for a period of at least 10 seconds without exhaling or further inhaling, and inhaling a breath and, without exhaling or further inhaling, adopting, and holding for a period of at least 3 seconds, at least one stretch position, which requires constant muscular exertion to maintain.
Claims20
A method for improving respiratory effectiveness of an individual, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a grab device, comprising at least one removable mount configured to allow the grab device to be removably attached to a surface of, or near, a swimming pool;
- b) attaching the grab device to a surface of, or near, a swimming pool;
- c) inhaling a breath and, while continuously holding the breath, swimming in the swimming pool for a period of at least 10 seconds without exhaling or further inhaling;
- and
- d) inhaling a breath and, without exhaling or further inhaling, adopting, and holding for a period of at least 3 seconds, at least one stretch position, wherein the at least one stretch position requires constant muscular exertion by the individual to maintain the stretch position, and wherein the individual holds the grab device for all or part of the period for which the stretch position is maintained.
A method for improving respiratory effectiveness of an individual, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a timing device configured to provide a timing signal to the individual;
- b) inhaling a breath and, while continuously holding the breath, swimming for a period of at least 10 seconds without exhaling or further inhaling;
- and
- c) inhaling a breath and, without exhaling or further inhaling, adopting, and holding for a period of at least 3 seconds, at least one stretch position, wherein the at least one stretch position requires constant muscular exertion by the individual to maintain the stretch position, wherein the timing device provides the timing signal to the individual to provide the individual with information corresponding to the length of time for which the stretch position has been maintained.
A grab device for use in a training method, the grab device comprising:
- at least one removable mount configured to allow the grab device to be removably attached to a surface of, or near, a swimming pool;
- and
- an elongated bar attached to the one or more removable mounts, wherein the bar has a region which is substantially straight, and has a constant or substantially constant cross-sectional shape over at least a substantial the region which is substantially straight, and wherein the region which is substantially straight is at least 1 metre in length.
