As we age, our chest flexibility decreases causing our lungs to shrink and our breathing muscles to work harder. It is important to properly train and strengthen our breathing muscles to improve our overall health and performance.
In this podcast, the speaker explains the importance of training breathing muscles to increase stamina and avoid stealing blood from other parts of the body. The podcast also includes a medical term related to breathing and a demonstration of proper breathing technique.
The flexibility of the chest decreases after the age of 29, causing the lungs to shrink. Proper breathing techniques can help improve lung performance and help athletes in various sports.
The correct breathing technique can improve physical performance and lower stress levels. Many people tend to chest breathe instead of belly breathe, which can lead to negative effects on the body.
