Let's continue where we left off, with the reasons you should think about changing from mouth to nasal breathing:nn 5. Hyperventilation through the mouth, the quick and hard breaths through the mouth taken when exercising at high intensity or feeling stressed, causes the body to offload more CO2, making it harder to oxygenate our cells.nn 6. Nasal breathing also activates the part of the nervous system that supports rest, recovery and digestion, the parasympathetic nervous system. Rather than the sympathetic NS that is responsible for survival or stress states, such as flight or freeze. Thus even when the body is in a stressful state, such as sprinting up the hill, nasal breathing can provide a sense of internal calm and control and allow us to perform better.n nSo, if nasal breathing helps us stay relaxed and improves our athletic performance, how come we do more of it?n nAs I said in part 1, it's a trained behaviour, like everything else. Unless you have a problem and cannot breathe through the nose (ie sinus issues perhaps) you can train yourself. n nFrom experience I can tell you that breathing through the mouth is harder work, but initially you will feel the opposite until you get used to nasal breathing.n nWhat are your thoughts?nn#running #runners #breathing #nasalbreathing #correctbreathing...
