Elite Performance Through Breath

Breathing Assessment Toolkit

Practical nervous system training

Five quick checks for breathing efficiency, state control and recovery readiness.

This app is designed for leaders, teams and high performers who want simple feedback on breathing patterns under everyday pressure.

Safety first: These tools are educational screening checks, not medical tests or diagnosis. Stop or modify any practice if dizzy, light-headed, uncomfortable or overwhelmed. Do not practise breath holds while driving, in water, or in unsafe environments.

Screening tool

Nijmegen Questionnaire

Rate how often each symptom has affected you recently. Use this as a conversation starter, not a diagnosis.

0 = Never · 1 = Rarely · 2 = Sometimes · 3 = Often · 4 = Very often

Breathing efficiency check

BOLT Test

Sit still, breathe normally through the nose, take a normal breath in, make a normal relaxed exhale, pinch the nose and start the timer. Stop at the first clear desire to breathe. This is not a maximum breath hold.

Only do what feels comfortable. Stop early if you feel strain, dizziness or discomfort.

Resting breath-rate test

Sit quietly. Tap once for every breath you take for 60 seconds. The app will calculate breaths per minute.

Controlled exhale capacity

Lung Capacity Test

Take a comfortable nasal inhale. Exhale slowly and steadily through the nose while the timer runs. Stop when the exhale naturally ends. Do not force or strain.

Avoid forcing the exhale. This is a control check, not a competition.

Nasal-only capacity

Nasal Breathing Ability

Select the highest activity level where you can maintain nasal-only breathing without air hunger, panic, strain or needing to open the mouth.

Ready to understand what your results mean?

These tests are a useful starting point, but the real value comes from knowing what to do next.

If your results suggest over-breathing, poor recovery, breathlessness under pressure, or difficulty maintaining nasal breathing, Evan can help you turn the results into a practical nervous system training plan for better focus, recovery and performance.
