Dr. Mitch Lomax and her team at the Department of Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Portsmouth have determined that training of your inspiratory muscles the muscles responsible.How Proper Breathing Can Boost Sports Performance. We go on breathing whether or not we pay attention to it, so it may seem as though there wouldn’t be a need for practicing different ways of breathing. But given that oxygen is our most essential nutrient for life and respiration is the process we use to get all that life-sustaining oxygen.
“This simple technique can immediately improve your athletic performance, and is especially well-suited to repetitive-motion activities, such as running, cycling, swimming, etc.” Lee explains that focused breathing helps to maximize your energy intake, while keeping the mind “in the body” and clear of distracting, self-limiting thoughts.Breathing Techniques to Boost Exercise Performance There’s one little tweak that can make or break your success at the gym: your breathing technique. Try these breathing exercises while running, weight training, stretching and practicing yoga.As things start to feel harder, breathing in rhythm can control the regularity and depth of your breathing, improving its efficiency and, in turn, boosting performance and lowering your perception.Nasal breathing, as opposed to mouth breathing, has another important advantage, especially for effective and efficient exercise: It can allow for more oxygen to get to active tissues.
Their conclusion: RMT can, in fact, improve sports performance—though researchers aren’t certain why, as RMT wasn’t shown to increase VO2 max. Some theorize that it may delay the onset of breathlessness, enabling athletes to push harder for longer.The good news is that with a little training, you can learn, or relearn, a simple way of breathing that can transform your health and athletic performance.
Practice Diaphragmatic Breathing. Sit upright in a chair, or lie down on the floor with your knees bent. Close your eyes and visualize your shoulders melting away from your ears.
And with long-distance endurance sports in particular, a steady, consistent breath can help you maintain a steady, consistent pace, Somerset adds. With running, for example, you could breathe.For example, running, yoga and swimming all have different techniques you can use to maximize performance. By employing sports breathing techniques, you can increase your speed, endurance and strength, and improve the overall quality of your workout. Breathing Techniques for Running.
Keeping your respiration steady rather than freaking out about numbers on your watch ensures you’ll net out around your goal pace. While consistent.To effectively use this technique, breathe in using your diaphragm, and on the inhale, count slowly to 4. One you reach 4 seconds, hold your breath.
While running you should use deep belly breathing (or diaphragmatic breathing) as it’s better for efficient and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) than shallow chest breathing. The air you breathe in only remains in the lungs a short time, thus preventing a complete exchange of air.Breathing through your nose garners so many benefits for your athletic performance and health in general. It is by far the optimal way to breathe.
If you think about it, the nose is designed to be the ideal mechanism for inhaling and exhaling. Yes, you can breathe through your mouth, but that is not its primary function.

I have a basketball game tonight and I thought what if I breath well lol.
Thanks using this video to help calm nerves before performing!!!:)
Winner of a video, I have been researching “eliminates bad breath” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Honulian Wiffy Remover (just google it )? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
please note the music is distracting…thank you for your work Patrick
Hey Patrick!
I got asthma and while im jogging i tried breathing through my nose and it feels much better than breathing with my mouth but i dont know the proper way to breathe when im jogging with asthma, currently im breathing at a pretty fast rate because it feels like my body needs the air but i dont know if thats correct.
Thank you in advance:)
Hi Patrick. Can you do a video “How to breath for people with hypertension please?” Im loving your work and have your book. I’ve been running with my mouth closed for a little over a year now, thanks to your work. And the difference is amazing! Anyone trying be patient, you can do it! My blood pressure tends to be on the high side so I’m getting back to your breathing exercises but I thought a simple short breathing exercise video would be amazing. If you already have one can you please guide me to it? Thank you!
What about when you breath out? Is it the same thing breathing in with the nose and then out with the mouth?
Can nasal breathing help with snoring and sleep apnoea? I also have a small nose and seasonal allegerie
Thank you for this video Patrick. I started making a conscious effort to nasal breathe but never fully brought that into my training. I often end up panting from mouth breathing whilst lifting weights and especially running long distance. Do you suggest to attempt to completely switch over to nasal breathing even whilst ‘out of breath’ and also breathing in and out of the nose instead of the recommended advice to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth? All the best, Hamza
Very inspiring vid, thank you. But I’m not a runner but I’ve weight trained for over thirty years. So as long as I breath through the nose, would I hold my breath on exhalation for the hardest part of the rep?
If you do cadence breathing while exercising will you not get raises in blood pressure?? And what is cadence breathing? What should weight training breathing be like?
What about inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth? I mean, there must be a reason why we evolved the ability to breath in our out through the mouth.
been concentrating on this 4 weeks now. %80-%85 max H/R and hardly blow a candle out
This is probably optimal for cardio shit, but what about calisthenics, or even some weight training? I was told tho that inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth is more optimal for those tasks?
I have pnemounia when i was child and im 19 now will corona can hv a adverse effect on me?
I have asthma and it feels hard to normally breathe with my nose
Again this is not a HOW TO, this is a medical reason and anatomy and physiology lesson of WHY. Give us a HOW TO, please. Please give us an actual HOW TO session.
I find that nasal breathing is better for low to medium heart rates. But I think for high heart rates, mouth breathing could be ideal. Correct me if I am wrong.
I have recently discovered applying this technique for deadlifts! it is truly incredible for me how much more I can lift. I made a video of my experience if you want to have a look: https://youtu.be/Kc3KG98IDiw
After I follow nose breathing techniques, I have no asthma and wheezing anymore. Thanks a lot
What does putting the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth do?
Examine a horsehead. Main function of the nose is cooling! It’s an airco.
I only discovered your channel two nights ago but am feeling calmer and more relaxed due to nasal breathing. Thanks very much!��
Within two weeks I noticed I am having a much deeper sleep every night since trying to remember to nose breath during the day. I am starting to use this method now on exercise too. Does a lot for my anxiety which I’ve had all my life. Thank you Patrick from another Patrick ����
I’ve been doing mindful breathing for 10 years BUT I did not do nasal breathing. Now I know all the benefits and it is helping me relax and sleep better. Last night I used 3 inch strips of scotch tape over my mouth to make sure I only breathed from my nose…and it was a fantastic sleep experience. It’s been rare for me to say that over the past 3 years.
Great information but please get rid of the background music. Very distracting and takes away from the importance of your message. It makes it sound like a fast food commercial. Love the nose breathing concept. Thanks for posting.
Tried this last night with a calisthenics workout and halfway though I got a very sore throat, had to switch back to mouth breathing. After that is was hard swallowing dinner. Did I strain my glottis or pharynx? Thanks for the tips
Try not to use music like this. Came here for the info and left because I can barely hear ya. Super distracting
hi, is nasal breathing applicable for other exercise also, e.g cycling, gym work etc, thanks
When you advise breathing through the nose is it both breath in and out or just breath in? Thank in advance.
Patrick, I started nasal breathing a few days ago based on your videos. I’ve since had a few dizzy spells. In fact, I woke up in the middle of the night dizzy. Is this normal? Does this have to do with me swapping to nose breathing?
Hay, I like your video really educational can I share it on my fan page “Wise Slim Habits”
Hey Patrick, so I tried this last night… with the initial ‘panic’ phase during the first 1/2 mile then I was able to settle into a rythym with extra concentration on my breathing. Ending at 3 miles, I felt physically great… I felt as if I’d fallen on a new door into my training. BUT, here’s the side effect I experienced… following the run, I had a massive amount of burning sensation through my sinuses, almost the equivalent feeling as if I’d snorted wasabi… literally.
I ran again today, yet my sinuses felt very sensitive and so I chose to mix in a little of both methods (nose and mouth).
Can you advise on what I can do to reduce this burning in the nasal passage? I couldn’t possibly have rhinitis after one nose breathing session
[email protected] gmail.com if you have additional insight you’d like to share. Thank you!! Chris
I’m from Taiwan and I’m still reading your book in Traditional Chinese version. Your book really helps me how to breath correctly. Thank you very much.
1. Does inhaling from nose and exhaling from mouth increase Vo2 Max during Weight training, Climbing stairs or Cardio (not running), 2. Does it speeds calorie Consumption
You are telling us what to do. Or how to do. You are explaining what is happening.
I’m 62 years old been training since I was 6 years old in Martial Arts… An old Korean TKD teacher said it was FORBIDEN To Breathe through The MOUTH… This was 1967 he told me this… People are still Ignorant about it????
hey sir what about yoga sometimes the teacher asks to exhale from the mouth sometimes inhale from the mouth too what do you suggest when doing yoga especially power yoga?
I’m a huge fan of yours Patrick…great video like always..but no need for music in the back ground..it’s distracting and suppressing your voice..������
Patrick, thank you so much for making this information available. I am an ultramarathoner and will absolutely incorporate this into my training to improve oxygenation levels. Have you heard of the postural restoration institute? Their work is very in line with yours and aims to restore diaphragmatic breathing by countering the asymmetrical structures in the human body (namely the larger right diaphragm) by with nasal breathing, improved sensory inputs from muscles, etc. Here is a link that explains PRI if you are intersted: https://pritrainer.com/what-is-postural-restoration-2/
What about the position of mouth? While inhaling and exhaling? Is it like keep closing mouth durning inhale and open up while exhale? Or all the time as usual as Normal breathing?
I’ve been practising the breath-holds and nose-breathing while exercising (HIIT and running) for the past 2/3 weeks, and at an 8km race two days ago I could sustain nose-breathing for the whole race with a heartbeat at +190-200bpm without difficulties! Truly amazing!
Dear Patrick, I wonder, can we overdo it with the breath-holds? (maybe with the blood pH balance?)
Thanks for your work! I can’t wait for the results in the future weeks…
I used to do 12 push ups and ended without breathing first time trying it and did 50 without breathing and ended better than I started like I could run. What has quarantine lead me to
Hi Patrick,
I compete in MMA and am currently trying to make the switch to nasal breathing and high altitude simulation…so far so good (have already after a couple of weeks noticed improvements in cardio and composure!). I have a question relating to the format of MMA competitions; with the rounds being 5 mins with 1 min rest in between what is the best way to breathe in that one min rest interval to recover? Am I right I thinking despite the urge to rapidly breathe that I should try and slow this down and nasal breathe as much as possible? Many thanks for your insight! Its changing my game =)
Hi Patric! Very interesting all about Nasal breathing! I have been trying every day since I saw your video on London Real -fantastic information that no body worries to give to the people.. I would love to know how I should breathe while I’m doing weights lifting? Which type of breathing should I use to make my performance better-like in squats or death lifts or anything in general with body building parameters!? It will be much appreciated your advice
Keep your great work! I would like to come to see you in your workshops-but I live in Australia! Thank you
Penelope
Why do I get a runny nose when I do physical exercise? It makes breathing through the nose so much harder. I hate it please help
Came from a nice easy run 5 miles, breathing only by the nose all the time. Average HR 128bpm.
I try to run almost all my runs with nasal breathing.
I’ve got a question. I’m a high performance swimmer and I’d like to if I should to nasal breathing when I swim. Thanks in advance:)
I read your book one year ago and I must admit that I had a
hard time switching to nasal breathing. Running on nasal breathing
was almost like suffocating, so I reduced my pace and increased
it only slightly from excercise to exercise and after one year I finally had
returned to my old level, breathing only 14 times a minute in comparison to
more than 40 times before. ( I am 49 by now).
I think I understand all the mechanisms you described so precisely and
that helped me a lot.
Also I found out that changing habits involves be patient with yourself.
The most important change for myself was a very profound change in
my philosophy towards my body: I changed from the attitude of seeing
my body as something that needs to be trained on and on, always demanding
a little bit more, two the idea that my body is a friend and partner, that
needs a encouragement and more importantly trust! And that affects
so much more than sports and excercise!
By the way, you seem to be such a kind and honest person, rarely found
nowadays that your way strengthend my confidence that I would succeed
with that “adjustment”.
In short I simply would like to say, thank you so much Patrick!
Greetings from Munich,
Sascha
How often does this need to be practiced to make it a habit in the body?
Breathing is our energy. If this energy is not efficient, we got so many troubles. Thank you sir!
From what I’ve heard Patrick McKeown and Brian McKenzie speak about, an athlete’s CO2/blood acidity tolerance can have a minor impact on endurance when working at maximum intensities (to push through the discomfort for a bit longer).
Regarding breathing technique, their reasoning process is as follows: if an athlete can be trained to breathe more efficiently, less energy will be consumed by the breathing muscles and more can be used by other working muscles. I believe that is why Conor McGregor brought in a breathing coach before his fight with Donald Cerrone (not to build his CO2 tolerance, but to gain marginal improvements in his breathing mechanics and thus his energy usage).
Ultimately, from my understanding, McKeown and McKenzie try to enhance athletes’ endurance and performance (marginal gains) by improving breathing technique and training their athletes to tolerate higher CO2 levels.
I don’t know how much of an effect this has on performance. More specifically, I do not know how big of an effect a higher CO2 tolerance and very good breathing mechanics have on endurance. However, it does appear that fast breathing through the mouth while at rest can be detrimental to health and performance (generally speaking) but it would be important to identify cause and effect.
That being said, I encourage you to do more of your own research on this topic!
Here is another video on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgwxn9mRpAY
The key take-takeaways from the Oxygen Advantage book are in the description.
When you try to explain breathing… but show hyperventilating people and mouth breathing athletes.
How the f. Should I take this seriously:D
There’s some misinformation here. There is no practice called “””overbreathing”””. I’ll explain why Wim Hof Method works.
Basically:
1. Heavy breathing lowers CO2.
2. Body assumes this also means low O2 and so doesn’t let as much go to the organs. This causes lightheadedness and compels you to breathe.
3. Holding the breath after the final exhale raises CO2 back up. The body assumes this means the O2 levels are, therefore, low.
4. Now after a big inhale and hold, O2 levels in the blood are elevated, and both the O2 and CO2 levels are high. The benefit comes from the fact that the blood had already been made full of O2, as well as CO2 (which is required for making use of O2).
5. So now the blood sends the excess O2 into the organs and brain, “hyper-oxygenizing” everything.
This has other benefits, such as: Induces hormetic stress, resetting the body’s ability to handle stress. Trains the body to handle elevated CO2 levels, and improving cardiovascular function.
Thanks for this informative video. Connor McGregor has the worst rowing technique!
Thank You for getting to the gist quickly & easily…i subscribed because of that����������
Are you qualified to give such recommendations about Buteyko therapy ( base of oxygen advantage ) and WHM? Did you learn both in detail and practice regular? If you do, I agree that you could give your best opinion. If not, pls don’t spread informations in your videos just because you read something and like it, as well as make money out of someone else’s ideas…. hope to hear from you
So are you a fan of the wim hof method or not? What if it’s done by the nose in and nose out? Help
Thanks for this. Breathing is a major struggle in my athletic endeavors.
I look forward to the future videos about improving bolt and strengthening the diaphragm.
Currently I do IMST and it seems to help me.

Man your content is absolutely astonishing, if you invest bit more money and time into this channel and clearly state where you are going with this, you can grow really fast
There is a conjuring trick. Fingering the nose deepens breathing by an acupressure reflex gv26. It is simpler to use reflex naturally by pressing lips together and to stop asthmatic mouth breathing.
Heyho,
Can somebody explain what this man at 06:20 is trying to do? Ist he applying a distinct breathing exercise / method / technique? I would be super thankful if somebody could unpack his knowledge on 06:20.:-)
Try taking a deep breath though your nose and hold for about 5-10 seconds. That’s a natural high right there 😉
ATTENTION! I made a small mistake in the video. When explaining the Bhor effect (beginning at 3:09), I said that an increase in carbon dioxide increases our blood’s pH levels ( 3:18 3:21). This is not true! What I meant to say is:
An increase in carbon dioxide decreases our blood’s pH levels (blood becomes more acidic)
The rest of the information following this is correct
Shutout to Patrice Begin in the comments for pointing this out:)
you said: Increase of CO2 increases blood ph levels. then you said: Decrease of CO2 (also) increases blood ph levels. (which is which? also, you could use terms like acidity vs alkalinity to make it clearer, instead of saying “increase in blood ph”) thanks for the vid, important stuff
I just did a video on “Godzilla” challenge. Needed this video to help haha
I tALkeD DirEctlY WItH HiM
AMAZING
Goes on telling common knowledge.
What a waste of a video
In/out ; nose/mouth relationship? Which is most effective? Example: In through nose, out through nose? Great video. Thanks!
My two favorite breathing methods are Wim Hof’s and using the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser, especially for inhalation.
I do like 3.5 in 4.5 out then a 2 second hold. Or 3 4 2 using the Paced Breathing app
This video was confusing and didn’t make clear the purpose of anything, or give much explanation. Like a good trial run but not a final draft.
I simply can not adequately breath in or out sufficiently through my nose (especially during vigorous activities) due to a deviated septum as well as other chronic nasal issues (which have been unsuccessfully treated for years this also includes nasal surgeries & medications). Is there a way to adapt this method to mouth breathing or an entirely different method that might help me that you know of?
Is it not dangerous to deprive your body and brain of O2 for such a long period of time?
Hello. I am a new subscriber. I have interstitial lung disease caused by chemo therapy. I have been look for ways to open up my lungs in the morning because that is when I struggle the most with breathing. Looking forward to strengthening my lungs and muscles. Thank you.
I am using the Emwave2!!! from Heartmath! even Ben talks about it! great tool!
Good post. Breathing helped me PR in a half marathon.
Awareness.
Thank you for helping to value of the parasympathetic nervous system
