Why should footballers practise breathing?

Is your team performing to its full potential?

Breathing training can increase endurance and recovery, which is crucial for high-intensity matches and effective training.

Do they lack concentration in the second half of the match?

Breath optimisation reduces fatigue and improves energy management and concentration, allowing for faster recovery and better decisions on the pitch.

Are your players losing strength quickly?

Breathing through the nose filters and humidifies the air better, promotes the production of nitric oxide, which blood flow and oxygen delivery to the muscles, increasing VO₂ max.

Long recovery time after a match?

Breathing through the nose activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the body shift from effort to recovery mode faster. This means reduced muscle soreness, better sleep quality, and quicker return to peak performance between matches

How do we improve athletes’ performance?

Our method combines advanced breathing techniques with daily training.

This enables athletes to achieve better results and recover more quickly.

KROK 1

Audit and diagnosis

We conduct an audit and diagnosis of the club’s needs in order to thoroughly understand the challenges and goals facing the team.

KROK 2

Training plan for the team

We develop a personalised plan that meets the needs of the team and its players.

KROK 3

Regular sessions and progress tracking

We conduct regular group and individual sessions to maximise the effects of training.

KROK 4

Analysis of results and reporting of outcomes

We monitor progress and provide reports to track the programme’s effectiveness.

CASE STUDY

Lech Poznań

During breathing training, we focused on improving the body oxygen level test (BOLT) and strengthening the diaphragm. The athletes were equipped with AirFlow breathing devices for both nasal and oral use.

+50%

increased tolerance to CO2 (BOLT)

-25%

less time spent in the anaerobic zone

+120%

more sprints during the match

Players’ opinions

Discover the opinions of footballers who have chosen AirFlow Performance.

As for specific, measurable results, I can now hold my breath longer when exhaling, and I can control my breathlessness more quickly and easily, especially during interval training or more demanding sessions. I return to calm breathing much faster, which means I get less tired.

Daniel H.
Lech Poznań

I stopped resting my hands on my knees when I was exhausted. I calmed my breathing, trying to breathe through my nose as long as possible, rather than through my mouth.

Antoni K.
Lech Poznań

The sessions have significantly improved the quality of my sleep. I have noticed that when I use the techniques before bedtime, I experience more restful sleep.

A tailored approach to every level of football

Whether you manage a pro team, a youth academy or train individuals, our breathing programme will increase your effectiveness.

Senior teams

We help professional clubs increase player performance, reduce recovery time and improve concentration on the pitch. We work with the best – our methods prove themselves in high-stakes matches.

Football academies

We implement breathing habits as early as the youth training stage. This helps young footballers learn to better control their bodies and emotions, which translates into better results, regeneration and match readiness.

Breathing exercises for ambitious players

If you play alone but want to train like a professional, our individual offer will help you increase your endurance, cope better with stress and recover faster after matches or injuries.
