Wob

nigelh

I've been rattling my head about Work of Breathing.
It always seems to be measured at the mouthpiece.

I am wondering about a couple of Inspo conversions that I have seen that replace the multitude of counterlung straps with bungee.
My concern is that every breath inflates your chest and stretches the bungee.
This equates to additional WOB to me.

I've left all the specs and stuff in the office and I've no idea how tight the bungee is so I've no numbers but I remember the WOB numbers being very small and probably quite comparable to stretching an elastic a cm.

Is this a problem?
