What is the correct way to breathe during exercise? Exhale or inhale when you exert yourself? Is there anything special?
I believe that people who run regularly know that when they start running, incorrect breathing can easily lead to suffocation and dizziness; Anyone who likes swimming knows that learning to breathe is very important for learning to swim; Yoga teachers talk about "Inhale-Exhale-"every day. People who exercise regularly know that long-term abdominal breathing or chest breathing has a great influence on their figure.

1. How important is it to breathe correctly?

1. Actions should be coordinated and rhythmic to prevent injury.

2. Make people exert greater strength and enhance the training effect.

3. Help to concentrate when completing the action

Second, how should we breathe? Let me introduce you to three most commonly used breathing methods.

Breathing methods of three kinds of exercise

1. Breathing method of aerobic exercise:

Pay attention to the rhythm and avoid breathing. Take running as an example: it is recommended to take a deep breath slowly, inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Beginners can "breathe in three steps, breathe in three steps". Experienced runners "breathe twice and suck once", and veterans suggest "breathe twice and suck twice".

2. Breathing methods for strength training:

Basic principle-follow resistance and inhale; Resist resistance, exhale, exhale (rise) when exerting force, and inhale (fall) when returning.

For example, do bench press, inhale when putting down the barbell and exhale when lifting the barbell. This way of breathing is suitable for self-respect and light weight training. When doing heavy weight strength training, breathe in slowly, hold your breath when you exert your strength, and then exhale slowly when your body feels fully exerted, just after the action is completed.

3. Breathing method of static stretching:

Each action of static stretching lasts about 30 seconds, and you need to take a deep breath slowly, 5~8 times for each action.
