Training
A lung test consists of 3 consecutive steps. Firstly, the exhale strength test measures your maximum expiratory strength, then the inhale strength test measures your maximum inspiratory strength, and lastly, the lung capacity test measures your lung volume.
Try to not focus necessarily on force, but on control. Make sure that you’re utilizing your diaphragm. This means making sure that you’re breathing through your belly and using those muscles as much as possible when breathing in and out.
Keep in mind that your test results can vary if you take the test at different times or conditions. For instance, your lung test results may differ if you have just eaten compared to when the stomach is empty.
You can do lung tests with an Airofit Pro or Essential device.
See the steps below for a guide on how to take a lung test.
Step 1: Exhale Strength
Step 2: Inhale Strength
Step 3: Lung Capacity
Airofit is a respiratory muscle trainer that works by giving resistance to your breathing. It trains both the inspiratory and expiratory functions, covering the entire area of breathing muscles. Airofit is small and handheld, and utilized by placing it in the mouth and blowing through it. On the device, you adjust two different wheels to increase or reduce the resistance – one for inspiratory and one for expiratory breathing.
The way your training works depends on whether you have an Airofit Pro, Essential, or Active.
Airofit Pro and Essential connects to your phone with live training, guidance, and feedback, while Airofit Active is a standalone device with app instruction only.
Airofit Pro covers many different training sessions and programs, while Airofit Essential covers 4 core training sessions – you can however expand this by upgrading to our subscription.
How the training is executed depends on the specific training sessions. All sessions are guided, you just have to follow in on-screen instructions.
Below you find an illustrative guide on a typical training session with Airofit.

The parameters that are measured and presented in the app are your Accessible Lung Capacity (ALC), Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP), and Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP) at the given resistances.
Pressure is measured in CM H20 (Centimeters of water pressure) and capacity is measured in Liters
The Airofit system contains pressure sensors and translates the pressure into vital capacity and peak pressure. This indicates the inspiratory and expiratory strength. In theory, it is created by algorithms, correlating pressure and flow into volume.
Select the “Activity” icon on the navigation panel at the bottom of your screen. Here you can find your training progress and statistics.
Yes! The app and its content will constantly be under development, and new training sessions and programs will be added.
We recommend you train your breathing every day. Remember that it is not about training for a long period of time. 10-15 minutes a day is more than enough but consistency is key!
If you train daily, we do recommend you split your program into two and train twice a day. The best results are obtained when you complete two training sessions at different times of the day.
You should be relaxed and standing or sitting upright. Hold the trainer with your hand on the E-Unit (front part on the main body with the logo on). Make sure that the openings near the wheels are not obstructed. Now place the trainer in your mouth so that your lips cover the outer shield of the mouthpiece to make a seal. Look straight forward, looking down can cause more salivating.
Airofit should be used outside of any physical activities. The best way to train with Airofit is to sit down, relax, and focus only on training your breath.

Maintenance & Cleaning
Always remove the E-unit before cleaning with water or other liquids!
After each training we recommend that you wash the device in warm water, shake off excess water and blow through the device to remove water that might still be inside the device. Dry fully with a clean towel.
- Let the e-unit fully charge (at least eight hours or overnight) at least once a month, even when not in use.
- Do not assemble your device immediately after it has been cleaned, but wait for it to be dry.
- Make sure that your E-Unit stays as dry as possible.
- Do not store your device uncharged for a long period of time
