Answers to questions about the use of instrumentation

What is a cardiac information product (KIP)?

KIP is a file, when used, there is a targeted influence on the function of a selected organ or system of the body through breathing.

What types of instrumentation are there?

Today there are two types of cardio information products.

1. Respiratory
2. Frequency

What is the operating principle of each type of instrumentation?

Respiratory instrumentation influences the functioning of the heart, and through it, other organs and systems, through a certain pre-calculated breathing algorithm. Frequency instrumentation influences the functioning of the heart through the characteristics of the physiological functions of the brain. You can read more about this in the article “What are KPIs and how do they work?”

How are KIP-D and KIP-CH prescribed?

KIP-D is assigned based on the analysis of the user’s biomedical information stored in the Association’s database. The user can independently order the selected instrumentation-D, but still the Doctor-Expert will double-check the feasibility of using the ordered product using the available medical and biological information.

KIP-Ch is prescribed based on an analysis of the user’s current electrocardiogram and is always individual.

In what format do KIPs exist?

Practice has shown that it is most convenient for KIP-D to use a file in MP4 format, and KIP-CH in MP3 format.

Is it possible to combine KIP-D and KIP-CH?

Yes. And this, for the most part, has an even stronger effect.

What's the point in all this, doesn't the body itself know how to control itself?

Knows and controls. But we must remember that with age the regulation function weakens and reserves are depleted. And if you don’t train the function, the reserves will never increase.

Principle: without training a function, there is no increase in the reserve of an organ or system. Therefore, some choose the natural decrease in reserve with age without training it, while others train the function by increasing the reserve. Everyone has their own choice. One of the goals of the Association is to control, train and increase the health reserve.

Where is the best place to use breathing training using KIPs?

Optimally - on the street, or at home with an open window.

When is the best time to exercise?
KIP-D is recommended to be practiced 2 hours after meals, or on an empty stomach.

KIP-CH during the day at a time convenient to your daily routine.

Which position should you choose for training?
Choose a comfortable position that is available to you at the moment.

How to evaluate and see the effect of a training program?
Increasing the body's reserves is achieved in one single way - training the function of the system. Therefore, to achieve the best results, regular training is important, 15 minutes a day minimum, more optimally 15 minutes 2 times a day. With subsequent ECG processing, an increase in functional reserves in the given systems will be visible.

 

Is it possible to safely combine breathing exercises (KIP-D) with other things?
Yes, if these things do not require physical effort that would interfere with the performance of breathing exercises. But still, practicing with your eyes closed and concentrating on the process is considered the most effective.

How to combine breathing exercises with sports and other physical activity?
As for sports or other activities, the order is not particularly important here; it is important to pause to restore breathing and heartbeat.

Is it possible to combine breathing practices using KIPs with other breathing exercises, for example, according to Frolov or Strelnikova?
Yes, there are no contraindications to this, but it is worth scheduling these practices at different times of the day. And in addition, it should be taken into account that KIPs are specific and are aimed specifically at training the functional system that is specified by the Expert Doctor.

 

How long can you train?
The optimal time for beginners has already been set - it’s about 7 minutes in breathing instruments. You can easily change this by running the file again. But to begin with, it is recommended to train no more than 15 minutes in one session. If you spend less than 3 minutes training, you don’t need to really count on results from it. KIP-CH are constructed in such a way that it can simply be background sound or accompanying sound during the performance of general and local health-improving techniques.

 

How to take the “correct” breath?
Inhalation consists of three stages that smoothly flow into one another.1. First, fill the lower sections of your lungs with air. At the same time, the stomach protrudes, but the shoulders remain motionless.2. Then inhale through the middle sections. The chest will expand.3. Finally, fill the upper sections of your lungs with air. The collarbones rise up.

How to properly hold your breath while inhaling?
Before holding your breath while inhaling, fill 90-95% of the air with air to prevent dizziness. If it's more convenient, you can close your nostrils with your fingers.

How to exhale correctly?
Exhalation is carried out in the reverse order to inhalation. That is, we first release air from the upper parts of the lungs, then from the middle ones, and finally from the lower ones, contracting the abdominal muscles.

How to hold while exhaling?
Do not hold your breath while exhaling completely, but leave the same amount of air in your lungs as during normal exhalation, that is, 5-10%. In the last second of the delay, exhale the rest forcefully.

 

Why do you recommend this order of inhalation and exhalation? I've read that it should be the other way around.
There are at least 4 different opinions about the way the chest and abdominal muscles move during breathing practices, and each opinion has its own “correct view” on this matter. The Association recommends that it be based on the ECG biofeedback method. If during assessment biofeedback will result in an unsatisfactory growth of functional reserves for you personally, we will adapt the training to the needs of your body.

 

Which is better to breathe - through the nose or mouth?
Unless otherwise indicated in the breathing training description, inhale through the nose only and exhale through the nose or mouth, as you choose. When exhaling through your mouth, it is good to form your lips into a tube, but this is not necessary.

What are the recommendations and contraindications for working with instrumentation devices during pregnancy?
Pregnancy itself does not mean that some physical activity is contraindicated for you, including working with instrumentation devices. Other factors play a big role here: your physical and psycho-emotional components, current lung capacity, and the expected effect of training. Therefore, if, in general, you are healthy, lead a relatively active lifestyle and feel well, you can practice the CIP recommended to you by your Medical Expert. If you have any doubts, please re-consult with an Expert Physician regarding your concerns. Also make sure that you do not get too carried away with the breath-holding phases (inhalation and exhalation). If and when you do them, you can it is normal to feel that the baby is pushing during the training session, as the child is actively moving to get more oxygen.
