How should you breathe during exercise?

Many people do not understand how to breathe during exercise, and exercising will definitely increase your breathing volume. If you don’t know how to breathe correctly at this time, it may cause a lot of pressure on your lungs, which will affect your physical health over time. Therefore, you must have the correct breathing method during exercise, so that your exercise can be good for your body.

Deepen your breathing to relieve fatigue

After running for 10 to 20 minutes, many people will find themselves unable to run anymore, and will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, weak legs and feet, and want to stop very much. This is the extreme point. But if you stop there, you won’t get good exercise results. In fact, the appearance of the extreme point is mainly because the human body needs an adaptation process to transition from static to high-speed movement.

This process is also an adjustment process for the respiratory system, musculoskeletal system, and circulatory system. Actively adjusting your breathing can help you get through the extreme point quickly and continue exercising.

About half an hour to 40 minutes after exercise, the human body may reach a second peak. For athletes, it is necessary to adjust the exercise intensity and breathing frequency at this time; for ordinary people, it is recommended to stop exercising and take a short rest.

Breathing through mouth and nose

When people first start running, they run at a slower pace and are in the warm-up phase. At this time, the body's demand for oxygen is not great and breathing through the nose can cope with it. As the running distance becomes longer and longer, if you only breathe through your nose, it is easy to cause respiratory muscle fatigue. Therefore, the mouth and nose need to work together to increase the supply of oxygen and relieve the tension of the respiratory muscles.

In winter, there are some rules to follow when breathing through the mouth. Direct inhalation into the trachea should be avoided to prevent coughing and discomfort. When you exhale, release the tip of your tongue from the roof of your mouth, allowing the hot air to flow out of your mouth smoothly. This is not necessary in summer. But you can also use this technique when running on the road or other places with poor air quality.

After knowing how to breathe during exercise, don't breathe randomly, because that is definitely bad for your body. You must pay attention to it in your daily life, and after a long time, it will become a habit. Then you don't have to worry about the problem of breathing during exercise, which will be more helpful to you.
