ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for use in deep breathing exercises and includes a bag capable of expanding and contracting, a pipe connected to the bag for allowing air to be blown into the bag, and a check valve provided at an outlet hole of the pipe. At least the air outlet hole of the pipe and the check valve are formed of an elastic material so that the air collected in the bag can escape when the check valve is opened by elastically deforming the pipe adjacent the air outlet hole and the check valve, and so that the escape of the air is stopped when the check valve is closed due to elastic return of the pipe and the check valve. Accordingly, opening and closing of the check valve can be easily carried out so that deep breathing to improve health can be mastered irrespective of age or sex. Further, since a user can visibly ascertain to what degree he has exhaled the air by viewing the expansion of the rubber balloon, he will be convinced of the advantageous effects of practicing deep breathing, such that he will be motivated to continue practice and thereby improve his health.
