About

SilentStar Breath

Read full description

SilentStar Breath is not just another collection of breathing exercises. It is a personalised training program that adapts each session to your current level and progress. The Program uses your measurement results and your assessment of how difficult each completed session felt. Based on this information, it selects an appropriate starting point and adjusts the level of your next training sessions. You do not need to decide what to practise next. SilentStar guides you step by step, while the Program evolves based on your results and feedback. YOUR PROGRAM You begin with a measurement that helps determine your current level. SilentStar uses the result to select an appropriate starting point. After each session, you rate how difficult it felt. If the training is appropriate, the level may gradually increase. If it becomes too demanding, the app may maintain the current level or reduce the difficulty of upcoming sessions. This means the Program is not a fixed set of exercises. It adapts to your abilities and current progress. DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRAINING The Program uses different forms of breathing training, so it is not based on just one type of exercise. The app includes training designed to develop, among other things: • breath control • tolerance to the increasing urge to breathe • calmer and more conscious breathing • breathing rhythm • breathing during movement • reduced breathing Each session has a clearly defined structure, and the app guides you through every stage of the training. MEASUREMENTS AND PROGRESS SilentStar allows you to perform further measurements and track changes in your results over time. In the Progress section, you can view your activity, completed training sessions and measurement results. This allows you to follow your training and progress directly in the app. FREE TRAINING In addition to the Program, you can use Free Training and perform selected exercises whenever you want. You can choose from ready-made training settings or adjust selected parameters to suit your own needs. FOCUS ON YOUR TRAINING You do not need to keep watching the screen while you exercise. Depending on the type of session, the app uses voice guidance, sound cues, countdowns, animations and vibrations. The SilentStar Breath interface is available in Polish, English, German and Spanish. Voice guidance is available in Polish and English. PREMIUM ACCESS Free Training and the app's basic features are available free of charge. Full access includes the personalised Program, level selection based on your results, automatic adjustment of upcoming training sessions, Program-related measurements and progress tracking. You can start your subscription with a 7-day free trial. The price and subscription terms are always displayed in the App Store before you confirm your purchase. You can restore purchases directly in the app. IMPORTANT SilentStar Breath is a training and wellness app. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions. Perform all exercises in a safe environment and according to how you feel. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
