Our question we ask, do we breathe with the nose or the mouth?
Playing sports while younger we wondered, is it better to breathe with the mouth as some were taught instead of with their nose?
It is not easy to answer this type of question because much depends on the type of physical activity practice and the degree of intensity.
At the gym, on a bike, or even jogging outside, our metabolism gains and the energy demands from our organs. We need a greater supply of blood under these conditions, oxygen and nutrients to the various tissues, the flow and cardiac pulmonary ventilation gains.
The increase in ventilation is achieved mainly through two things:
Increased depth of breathing
Increased respiratory rate
At this point we must immediately make a small clarification differentiating sports and mixed aerobic (running, cycling, football, tennis, swimming, basketball, etc..) Than anaerobic (sprint races, weightlifting, bodybuilding, etc..).
In the latter type of physical activity did not sense to speak of respiration as the process of muscular effort happens very often in apnea. Considering the short duration of the service. hold your breath allows the athlete to better coordinate the movements, to develop a stronger and protect your back from lifting heavy loads.
The apnea is not absolute, however, have contraindications, especially for the heart, hypertension and diabetes that should absolutely avoid this situation. For this category of athletes and those who practice body building, we have drafted an article that explains in detail the optimal technique of breathing and breathing weights. Breathing in resistance
During a type of aerobic exercise of low intensity, the average ventilation increases linearly with the consumption of oxygen. NasoTradotto breathe in other words the frequency and especially the depth of breathing increases in proportion to the effort. In this situation the person can safely breathe with the nose, feels a little 'fatigue, but is still far dall'affanno. Perception of breath is therefore very useful to adjust the intensity of those subjects in a po 'inexperienced and not using the heart rate.
When the intensity increases further and approaches the ceiling ventilation increases more than oxygen consumption. In practice, if the intensity increases by 10% the response increases ventilation, for example, 20% due to a marked increase in ventilation and especially the frequency of breaths.
To explain this phenomenon it is necessary to make a brief reference to anaerobic threshold, or the value of exercise intensity beyond which the production of lactic acid exceeds the capacity of disposal by the body. The accumulation of lactate in the blood is partially neutralized by bicarbonate (buffer systems) with a chemical reaction that releases water and carbon dioxide. Everyone knows that substance (CO2) is very toxic to the body and must be eliminated with the breath.
So lactic acid is the main culprit of the "fiatone" that occurs during physical activity of high intensity. Under these conditions, the oxygen demand and the need to eliminate carbon dioxide increases dramatically, forcing the person to breathe with both the nose and with the mouth.
