It sounds silly, but many of us including yours truly tense up or focus so much on the physical action of the sport that we forgot to breath in a relax rhythmic fashion. Most certainly true in swimming, running & cycling. However, recently it became abundantly apparent to me the art of relaxed breathing while lifting free weights. No matter how much a type "A" grimaces and forces that 10th dumbbell curl, I can almost assure you will be able to lift more weight & more often if you are relaxed and breathing.
It does sounds pretty straight forward. We think were breathing properly, but there is a good chance, we're not. Then even if you are breathing, you may be breathing at the incorrect times. I came across some great articles I'd like to share with you by Dr. Emeka Okwuje on Article base. Do a quick google & check it out. Test yourself, next time you're doing any sport activity begin by focusing on a relaxed rhythmic breathing. You will be surprised i think how much further & stronger you become. Please note I'm not a doctor nor an expert, but simply sharing based on my personal experiences.
If you have any experiences you would like to share please add your comments.
