“…However, equivalent V T can be achieved with more or less diaphragmatic engagement, and at variable LOV. Pranayama Yoga, Zen, and Transcedental meditation practices include conscious diaphragmatic breathing exercises shown to be effective for improving exercise capacity, stress reduction, and reducing symptoms of respiratory disease ( Hamasaki, 2020 ). Thus, breathing depth ought to be considered distinctly modifiable.…”

Breath Tools: A Synthesis of Evidence-Based Breathing Strategies to Enhance Human Running

Running is among the most popular sporting hobbies and often chosen specifically for intrinsic psychological benefits. However, up to 40% of runners may experience exercise-induced dyspnoea as a result of cascading physiological phenomena, possibly causing negative psychological states or barriers to participation. Breathing techniques such as slow, deep breathing have proven benefits at rest, but it is unclear if they can be used during exercise to address respiratory limitations or improve performance. While direct experimental evidence is limited, diverse findings from exercise physiology and sports science combined with anecdotal knowledge from Yoga, meditation, and breathwork suggest that many aspects of breathing could be improved via purposeful strategies. Hence, we sought to synthesize these disparate sources to create a new theoretical framework called “Breath Tools” proposing breathing strategies for use during running to improve tolerance, performance, and lower barriers to long-term enjoyment.

Covid-19 is a virus that attacks the respiratory system and has spread globally with more than 39 million positive cases; hence, several countries have quarantined. This pandemic has impacted on the physical and mental health. Furthermore, pregnant women are at high risk during an infectious disease outbreak, with a fatality rate of 25% for Covid-19 cases, hence, the concerns related to the growth and development of neonates. The results of previous studies showed that pregnant women experience psychological changes in the form of anxiety and depression during the pandemic. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to provide relaxation training to reduce anxiety due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The experimental study design was used, where there were two groups, namely experimental and control with measurements of pre-test, post-test and follow-up. Furthermore, the sample included 20 pregnant women in the third trimester and the measuring instrument used was the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) with 20 items. The relaxation training was given in stages with four meetings, and the results showed that it reduced anxiety due to the pandemic in the third trimester of pregnant women (p = 0.004).

Breathing, although unconscious and often overlooked, is a central aspect of our whole being and one of our most vital functions. This review paper aims at investigating the physiological as well as the neuropsychological benefits of breathing training techniques. In addition, we examine the effectiveness of mobile breathing applications in upgrading human health and wellness. Finally, we discuss the role of metacognition in breathing, as the only means people have to gain awareness of the profound powers of breath and take conscious control of their health.
