Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to sports mask and more particularly the disclosure relates to a sports mask for adjusting inhalation resistance settings to a user.
  • resistance settings of the sports mask can be varied based on the level of exertion of the user or blood oxygen saturation level of the user. Restricting air intake during physical exercise can provide the respiratory muscles with an extra load, which in turn works the pulmonary muscles more intensely to strengthen them. Persons with breathing difficulties including asthma, athletes and healthy persons can improve respiratory muscle strength by breathing against resistance.
  • Respiratory muscle training is an essential training for athletes wishing to compete at a high level Respiratory muscle training helps athletes to prepare and get ready for high exertion programs. Restricting air intake during physical exercise can provide the respiratory muscles with an extra load, which in turn works the pulmonary muscles more intensely to strengthen them. Another function of the mask is to pool carbon dioxide during breathing, part of which is inhaled into the lungs to condition the respiratory center in the brain to a higher tolerance of carbon dioxide. This in turn reduces breathlessness during physical activity. Persons with breathing difficulties including asthma, athletes and healthy persons can improve respiratory muscle strength by breathing against resistance.
  • the treatment is achievable with the aid of masks which have been designed particularly for this function and which include a check valve that allows air to be inhaled with resistance whereas, little or no resistance is provided while the air is being exhaled.
  • masks include mask disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,554,746, to McConnell et al discloses an inspiratory muscle training device including an opening for the passage of air to be both inhaled and exhaled and an inlet permitting air to be inhaled to enter the chamber and to pass through the opening. There is provided an adjustable valve to vary the resistance to inhaling.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,973,047, to Norell discloses a therapeutic device for lung exercise which requires a mouthpiece, and has a rotatably adjustable air intake valve.
  • CN105797318 discloses a resistive breathing device, comprising a mask.
  • the mask is provided with a perimeter and a central hole which passes through the mask and extends.
  • the mask is suitable to cover an oral area and a nasal part of a user, so that the perimeter and the face of the user form gas-tight seal.
  • An outer layer covers the mask and comprises a pair of bands used to fix the mask on the face of the user.
  • a plugboard is arranged in the central hole of the mask and is provided with an inlet hole extending through the mask.
  • a central insert covers the plugboard, and is provided with an air inlet hole extending through the central insert, and the central insert can move between a first position and a second position. On the first position, the first part of the air inlet hole is overlapped with the air inlet hole of the plugboard. On the second position, the larger second part of the air inlet hole is overlapped with the air inlet hole of the plugboard.
  • WO2014059389 discloses a software operated method/system for both breathing training and respiratory muscle training in which a user inhales and exhales via a mouthpiece through a hand-held breathing chamber so that pressure, time and direction of air breathed through the chamber is automatically measured. The breathing results are automatically processed and displaying on a remote screen as a real-time interactive graphic representing such air pressure, time and direction. The users base- line is established and a menu of training choices including interactive games is displayed.
  • the prior art provide separate passages for inhaling and exhaling, which may be worn by a user, in intensely vigorous exercise, without impeding the nature of the exercise conducted. Also, since the masks have manually adjustable valves and, since there is no way that the breathing restrictions could be correlated with the breathing restrictions, hence the breathing training cannot reach an optimum level.
  • the present invention comprises a breathing exercise apparatus having the features recited in claim 1.
