Do you know how to breathe properly while running?

Running is a very demanding aerobic activity involving oxygen metabolism as a source power. Hence the great importance of the way you breathe while running: this determines the calorie consumption and the performance of your workout.

But no paranoia. Breathing is something natural and therefore will vary according to the needs of your body. Standing and not exercising, his body responds with nasal breathing, which improves the quality of the air we breathe, the nose filters and heats the air that will reach the lungs.

Only during aerobic physical activity of strong intensity, the priority is to supply the greatest need for air. So do not force yourself to keep your mouth shut. Combine inspirations through your mouth and nose, as your body needs.

Inhale, exhale!

Your body reveals whether you are breathing right

It is short of breath and causes anxiety. In your day to day, try to observe. By training to breathe through the belly, the exercise automatically becomes

2. Inflate the abdomen in the breath and wilt when it expires. Release the air more slowly than it did, increasing the elimination of carbon dioxide and opening up space in the lungs for oxygen entry.

3. The right breathing takes the following path: it starts from the abdomen, reaches the ribs, and finally reaches the chest. Practicing it is the best recipe against the famous side pain, because the movements decrease tension in the diaphragm muscle, involved in breathing. When the air exchange is high, this muscle is forced to contract and relax at very short intervals, generating a spasm of cramp that causes the terrible pain on the side of the abdomen.

Pronounced footfall: a popular myth about running injuries

Most people who run have heard of the footprint and may become a risk factor for injury. However, a new study shows that this belief may be wrong, since pronation is a naturally occurring movement during the race. In this study recently published online by The British Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers at Aarhus University in Denmark, recruited 927 healthy men and women aged 18-65 who did not run but intended to start.
