THE CHALLENGE
Stress, Fatigue & Performance – The Hidden Connection
Is Your Breathing Holding You Back?
You train everything else—but do you train how you breathe?
Tactical operators rely on focus, endurance, and split-second decision making, but unseen factors could be working against you.
Brain fog, poor accuracy, slow reactions, fatigue, and coordination loss aren’t always just stress or lack of toughness—they can be symptoms of dysfunctional breathing.
Years of high-stakes environments and exposure to stress can condition dysfunctional breathing habits, compromising your endurance and cognitive sharpness when you need them most.
If left unaddressed, this silently erodes resilience, mission effectiveness, and long-term health.
THE SOLUTION
PERFORMANCE BREATHING SYSTEM®
PBS® is an innovative assessment and training tool designed to detect and correct breathing dysfunction in elite operators. By integrating real-time biofeedback with high-stress, mission-specific training scenarios, PBS® provides an accurate, data-driven evaluation of an operator’s respiratory performance under pressure.
Through this system, we identify dysfunctional breathing habits and develop personalised training protocols that enhance self-awareness, physiological control, and resilience. Operators gain actionable insights into their own physiology and are equipped with evidence based interventions to mitigate stress-induced breathing challenges—optimising both physical endurance and cognitive performance in high-stakes environments.
SCIENCE & INNOVATION
Cutting-Edge Science Meets
Tactical Performance
The PBS® leverages advanced biometric monitoring to assess and enhance an operator’s breathing efficiency and physiological resilience. Our process begins with baseline testing, including breathing profiles and Cardio-Respiratory Fitness (CRF) assessments, to establish a comprehensive physiological snapshot of each operator.
We then take operators into real-world environments where they must perform, conducting in vivo testing under mission-specific stressors. By capturing real-time biometric data from wearables, we identify how stress impacts breathing habits in operational conditions.
This data is used to generate highly detailed breathing behaviour analyses, allowing us to develop personalised optimisation strategies that enhance endurance, cognitive function, and overall resilience in high-stakes occupations.
Real-World Application
Train Like You Operate
PBS® provides breathing assessments during live & simulated training using wearable bio-sensors.
We use CapnoTrainer™, Hexoskin™ technology and helmet-mounted GoPros to monitor breathing behaviour, providing live feedback for real-time
performance review.
TRAINING
Elite Training for Elite Operators
We provide 1–3-day PBS® courses tailored for SOF/EOD, law enforcement and first responder demands.
Train-the-Trainer (TTT): Our TTT package provides comprehensive training and Certification for HP staff & cadre.
PBS® integrates seamlessly into existing HPO programmes.
testimonials
“Dylan possesses a clear passion for human performance, with an impressive depth of knowledge in breathing physiology and its relationship to stress. His expertise was instrumental in enhancing the training of the 1st NZSAS Regiment, where he introduced stress management techniques, breathing interventions, and hi-tech biofeedback wearables. The result? Marked improvements in physical recovery, mental focus, and decision-making under pressure.”
“Dylan’s guidance took already high-performing individuals and teams to the next level. If you’re in search of that next level, we back Dylan and the PBS team 100% to get you there.”
“I have worked with Dylan for over three years to enhance my performance, health, and longevity. His team continues to evolve, staying at the forefront of cutting-edge technology and research to deliver a complete, state-of-the-art system.
Time spent learning from their expert team has produced tangible results, equipping me with the right tools and breathing behaviors to significantly enhance both mental and physical output. If you’re looking for a competitive edge, you’ve come to the right place.”
