Lotto Soudal has announced its new partnership with Airofit, the world’s first smart breathing training system, to enhance its breathing techniques for the upcoming season. The team recognizes the proven physical performance and mental health benefits of breathing training, making Airofit an ideal partner.
Rider Tim Wellens is a devoted user of the Airofit breathing device, saying, “With an 82-day breath training streak, my breathing exercises have become a ritual in my daily training…I use Airofit not only to improve my lung muscles and lung capacity, but also for relaxation and mental health exercises.”
Airofit aims to address the often overlooked issue of insufficient breathing capacity in sports performance. With riders in a crunched over position, their lungs have less space to expand. By utilizing Airofit, Lotto Soudal aims to enhance respiratory strength, increase accessible lung capacity, optimize oxygen delivery to the muscles, and simulate altitude training through breath-hold exercises.
Airofit is the world’s first smart breathing training system that improves general wellness, physical performance, and cycling performance in Lotto Soudal’s case. The Airofit PRO breathing trainer offers adjustable resistance levels, measures lung function, and provides personalized training programs based on individual data.
