Abdominal breathing training apparatus, abdominal breathing training system and method thereof

Abstract

An abdominal breathing training apparatus, an abdominal breathing training system and the method thereof are provided. The abdominal breathing training apparatus is adapted for training a trainee how to perform an abdominal breathing and includes a trainer unit, a sensor unit, a data acquisition and conversion unit and a display unit. The trainer unit generates training waveforms and indications. The sensor unit directly measures abdominal movement signals from the trainee, and is positioned adjacent to the abdominal portion of the trainee. The data acquisition and conversion unit is coupled to the sensor unit and generates a trainee abdominal movement waveform according to the measured abdominal movement signals of the trainee. The display unit is coupled to the trainer unit, and displays the training waveforms and the indications to the trainee, who follows the training waveforms on the display unit to perform the abdominal breathing.
