“…Normal respiratory mechanics depends on the interaction among the respiratory muscles, lung and rib cage compliance and the airflow in the airways to promote air going into and coming out of the lungs, making it available for gas exchange [1,2].…”

This study aimed to compare the electromyographic (EMG) activity among participants with costo-diaphragmatic, mixed or upper costal breathing type. Forty male were classified according to their breathing type into three groups: costo-diaphragmatic, upper costal and mixed breathing type. EMG activity of diaphragm (DIA), external intercostal (EIC), sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and latissimus dorsi (LAT) muscles was recorded in the dorsal, left lateral and ventral decubitus positions, during the following tasks: 1) quiet breathing, 2) speaking, 3) swallowing, and 4) sustained maximal inspiration. DIA activity was higher in upper costal than in costo-diaphragmatic breathing in all tasks and body positions; was higher in mixed than in costo-diaphragmatic breathing in all tasks in the dorsal and ventral decubitus positions and only in task 4 in the left lateral decubitus position; was similar between upper costal and mixed breathing in all tasks and body positions. EIC activity was significantly higher in mixed than costodiaphragmatic breathing in all tasks in the dorsal decubitus position and only in task 4 in the left lateral decubitus position. SCM activity did not show significant differences. LAT activity was only higher in upper costal than costodiaphragmatic breathing in task 4 in the dorsal decubitus position, in tasks 1, 2 and 4 in the left lateral decubitus position, and in tasks 2, 3 and 4 in the ventral decubitus position. EMG activity of the DIA was the only muscle that allows to differentiate between upper costal or mixed breathing than costo-diaphragmatic in all tasks in the dorsal and ventral decubitus positions.

“…Ventilation occurs automatically in a continuous rhythmic pattern without any conscious effort. It is modulated by both neural and chemical inputs and is associated with the homeostasis of oxygen and carbon dioxide as well as playing a role in the acid-base balance (Davies & Misra, 2014). Respiration has a vital role in human health since it participates in most physiological and neuropsychological processes as a pivotal factor .…”

The purpose of the current review study is to shed light on the relationship between breathing and learning disabilities, to investigate the efficacy of breathwork as an intervention strategy, and finally, to identify the role of assistive technologies in breathing training interventions. The results of this study revealed a close relationship between breathing problems and learning, mental or/and behavioral disorders. In addition, it was found that breath-control training can help people with various disorders to improve cognitive and metacognitive abilities, to better manage emotional and behavioral problems, and achieve better learning outcomes. Technologies such as robots, virtual reality, mobile apps, and digital games were found to assist breathing training in various ways fostering therapeutic outcomes. We conclude that breathing training should constitute not just an alternative method of intervention but an essential practice for prevention and intervention in daily life, in school settings, at home, and workplace. It is essential to train appropriate breathing habits as early as possible in young children because many of the damaging effects on cognitive functions by disordered breathing can have lasting consequences.
