Respiratory exercises
Respiration is the exchange of gases, during which we inspire air rich in oxygen and expire air rich in carbon-dioxide.
Through the exercises of the body we can facilitate the adoption of the correct, physiologically optimal respiration technique and the development of the muscles supporting the respiration.
The correct respiratory technique means total respiration, which is developed by the harmonization of abdominal, thoracic and upper respiration.
- In a resting state or under a small load, the correct respiration is done through the nose, while under a heavier load, oral respiration is also necessary.
The connection of the movements and respiration:
- Respiratory exercises followed by movements.
- Movements, to which respiration is connected.
- Simple and cyclic movements (e.g. walking, running);
- Complicated and non-cyclic movements (e.g. hanging, throwing)
The main point of respiration is that the elements of metabolism can oxidize in the tissues of the body through the oxygen intake, therefore the perfection of the respiratory function should be carried out primarily through intense muscularly work.
