“Flex ya breathin’ muscles

During intensive exercise, the breathing muscles have a significant rising oxygen demand in line with the increase of speed and volume of breathing.

These respiratory muscles are at risk of fatigue, especially during endurance sports. As the breathing rate and volume increase during near maximal exercise, blood flow to the legs is significantly altered.

The body’s sensitivity to blood carbon dioxide also has an impact on the work of the respiratory muscles during exercise. If your ability to carry oxygen has been impaired through poor breathing practice, you will breathe harder when exercise intensifies.

Breathing hard requires a lot of work from the respiratory muscles, and as these muscles become fatigued, blood is diverted from the legs to support breathing. This redistribution of blood away from the working muscles is called metaboreflex.

It makes your legs feel tired, forcing you to slow down or stop. When the respiratory muscles overwork, metabolic by-products like lactic acid collect in the tissues, causing reduced circulation of blood.

By simply taking the time to recondition your diaphragm with deep slow breathing practices and also nasal breathing during aerobic exercise for more advanced trainers… you can strengthen your breathing muscles and prevent the effects of metaboreflex, increasing your ability to perform at higher intensities.  
Aerobic intervals with added nasal breathing… strengthen the diaphragm, build resilience:

30 minute cap;
AMRAP;
500m Row; 1:00 rest
500m Ski; 1:00 rest
*aiming to keep HR between 140-150bpm”
