Push-up breathing practice method

Push-ups are a very good form of exercise, but mastering some breathing methods while doing push-ups can also better exercise our cardiopulmonary function. The following will specifically introduce the synchronized breathing methods and steps for push-ups.

1. Synchronized breathing method

Take a breath each time you do an action, and breathing is completed during the action.

1. Inhale when the muscles contract forcefully, and exhale when they stretch and return to their original position.

Breathe in quickly when your muscles contract and breathe out slowly when your muscles stretch. This breathing method is the opposite of the previous one. The inhalation is quick and forceful, and the exhalation is slow and deep. It is generally used when the load is light and eccentric contraction exercises are performed.

2. Exhale when the muscles contract forcefully, and inhale when they stretch and return to their original position.

When your muscles contract, hold your breath for a moment and exhale quickly; when your muscles stretch, inhale slowly.

These are two opposite breathing methods. In the past few decades of practice. Many experts have discussed this. But these two breathing methods. They all have one common requirement, which is to avoid holding your breath for a long time while exerting force.

2. Asynchronous breathing

The breathing frequency is not equal to the number of movements, and breathing is performed during the intervals between movements. One breath, multiple movements or one movement, multiple breaths

1. Light weight. The fast speed uses multiple movements with one breath.

Do a few moves and a breath. After doing several movements in a row, pause and take a breath, then do several more movements in a row and take another breath. This method is often used at the beginning of a training session, when the weight is light, the speed is fast, and the energy is abundant, or when doing warm-up exercises. For example, it can be used when doing push-ups, curls, sit-ups, and other exercises.

2. Use the secondary breathing method when performing extreme or heavy weights.

Do a few breaths for each movement. This breathing method is used to adjust your breathing when you are carrying a heavy load (more than 90% of the weight you can bear) or when your body is close to fatigue, so that you can make another effort to complete the exercise.
