Breathing Sports

The endurance race is essentially an aerobic sport, and that means that the muscles work better in the presence of an adequate amount of oxygen, that reaches them through the air inhaled by the lungs and carried by the blood.

respirazioneHow much more intense is the much greater effort is the amount of oxygen that the muscles use, and you also get to situations in which the physical effort is so high that oxygen is no longer sufficient and the muscles, to continue to support the effort, produce in high quantities lactic acid. In this case, when the lactic acid accumulates, it comes to aerobic effort.

Hence the Breathing is an important aspect for each sports discipline endurance. Each athlete can perform breathing exercises through specific exercises that enhance the tone and the efficiency of the respiratory muscles (internal and external intercostal, elevators of the ribs, scalene and also diaphragm), such as large circles with the arms, shoulder, also associated with inspiratory and expiratory acts deep. Even the same respiratory stimulation that occurs during the race, especially when it runs at high speeds, It is sufficient to improve the efficiency of the muscles of respiration.

Breathe in the right way, alternating inspirations ed exhalations according to the movement, It is crucial in training, whether it be sports fatigue, whether it is of resistance disciplines. E 'need to know how to toggle between the two phases of respiration, depending on the product effort, but in any case it is important do not interrupt never breathing the same, even if the effort would recommend instinctively supported to do so.

During training, therefore, if you fail to alternate inhalation and exhalation it contains the recommended pace by the rules, it is advisable breathe in a natural way, following a "normal" rate.

You can safely breathe through the nose if the physical effort to be sustained is rather bland, but with increasing intensity the muscles need more oxygen and becomes natural gape looking for as much air. If you would like to insist not to open his mouth even when the race rhythm is supported, we meet soon in oxygen debt with lungs burning and aching legs for the accumulation of lactic acid.

  1. You really make it seem so easy together with your presentation however I find this
    topic to be actually something which I think I’d by
    no means understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me.
    I’m looking forward on your next publish, I will attempt to get the cling of
    it!
