The correct way to breathe while running

With the development of education, in order to respond to the call for the all-round development of students' morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, all schools, whether elementary school, junior high school or high school, have begun to pay attention to students' physical abilities. Among them, the running test is a big problem for most students. In fact, breathing while running is very important for us. Next, let's take a look at the correct breathing method when running.

1. It is not advisable to run on the roadside

Running along the road with serious air pollution will cause you to inhale more dust and harmful gases, which will invisibly increase the damage to your body. Therefore, it is best to choose a park with fresh air, on grass, or on a soil road with appropriate hardness or softness for running exercises.

2. Different speeds, different methods

There are two ways to breathe while running: one is to breathe only through the nose, and the other is to breathe through the mouth and nose together. When you first start running or run at a slow pace, your oxygen demand is small and you can meet it just by breathing through your nose. When running for a long time or at a fast speed, you should breathe with your mouth open to relieve the pressure on your respiratory muscles.

3. Match your steps

The rhythm of your breathing should be closely coordinated with your steps. Usually the breathing rhythm for jogging is to exhale every 2 to 3 steps, and inhale every 2 to 3 steps, and keep your breathing even and consistent, so that you will feel light when running.

4. Take a deep breath

Many people do not pay attention to the depth of their breathing when running, so when they exercise for a long time, they will experience shortness of breath, resulting in a feeling of chest tightness and difficulty breathing. Although some people pay attention to inhaling, they often ignore the depth of exhaling. Breathe as deeply as possible to supply more oxygen to the body and slow down the onset of fatigue.

Correct breathing while running determines whether the physical energy consumed by a person while running is proportional to the amount of exercise, and also determines how long a person can persist in running and how long he can run. In short, correct breathing while running is crucial for people who run. I believe that after learning the correct breathing method, everyone will find running easy.
