Do you breathe in the mouth or breathe your nose?

During riding, there is such a problem that plagues many riders: sometimes it's not even exhausting, but it's also breathless and the feet are not working. Why is this? In fact, this is often caused by the wrong way you breathe. What is the correct way of breathing? Especially in the winter, is it time to breathe with your mouth or your nose?

Under normal circumstances, the above-mentioned condition is usually caused by insufficient oxygen supply of the breathing and the oxygen consumption of the muscle cannot be supplemented in time. As for whether to breathe with your mouth or with your nose, this requires specific analysis. The following will be divided into three aspects:

1. Before riding: snuff mouth call

Before you go, you must first adjust the breathing by means of a snorting mouth so that the body can adapt to the movement rhythm in advance.

Method analysis: first close your mouth and use your nose to inhale deeply and slowly, until you can no longer inhale, then open your mouth and slowly spit out the gas, after the spit, close your mouth and then use the nose to deeply suck Gas... This is repeated nine times in succession. After you finish, take a few breaths with your nose and you're ready to go.

2. Ping Road Riding: Abdominal Breathing

When you start riding, your body's oxygen consumption will increase. Abdominal breathing will inhale more air and increase oxygen intake.

Method analysis: Close your mouth and place the tongue on the upper lid so that the air does not stay in the mouth. Then use the nose to inhale deeply. At this time, it is obvious that the abdomen is shrinking inwards. Exhale should try to spit out the gas. At this time, the abdomen should protrude outward. It doesn't matter if you don't get used to it at first. If you practice consciously, you will gradually get used to it.

3. When climbing: Suck and spit

Compared to road riding, climbing requires more energy and therefore more oxygen is needed to power the muscles. At this time, although the amount of oxygen in the abdominal breathing is large, such a relatively slow breathing rhythm cannot meet the demand, and the breathing pattern should be changed at this time.

Method analysis: At the beginning of the uphill, you can use the kind of nasal inhalation before the departure; please be sure to inhale and exhale slowly. When you find that your breathing is getting more and more rapid, you need to speed up your breathing—shut your mouth, inhale quickly with your nose, and exhale quickly with your mouth. If breathing becomes more and more rapid, stop the cart and adjust your breathing.

Note that in this process, whether it is riding or getting out of the cart, be sure not to inhale with your mouth, otherwise it will affect your health. On the one hand, although the intake of oxygen through the mouth is relatively large, it is very easy to inhale bugs and other contaminants. Inhalation of cold air often causes coughing and even diarrhea, which greatly affects the riding experience. On the other hand, the nose itself has the ability to filter air, and at the same time, the air becomes warm and moist after passing through the nasal cavity. In contrast, inhaling with the nose is more beneficial to the body.
