When breathing calmly, inhalation is active breathing (the participating muscle groups are shown on the left of the picture above); exhalation is passive breathing (the participating muscle groups are shown on the right of the picture above).
benefits of exercising respiratory muscles
Exercising respiratory muscles can improve the exercise ability of the respiratory muscles. Research has shown that effective exercise of respiratory muscle function can enhance the muscle strength and endurance of respiratory muscles, improve gas exchange ability, and prevent respiratory muscle fatigue and respiratory failure and .
Methods for exercising respiratory muscles
Lip shrinking breathing
Purpose: extends the exhalation time through the weak resistance formed by the Lip shrinking, increases airway pressure, and delays airway collapse.
Method: First close your lips and inhale with your nose, then slowly exhale through the shrinking of your lips (the lip shape is like a whistle). When exhale, shrink your abdomen at the same time.
Notes:
1. The ratio of inhalation to exhalation time is 1:2 or 1:3.
2. Training 3 to 4 times a day, repeating 8 to 10 times each time.
abdominal breathing
Purpose: exercise respiratory muscles, improve lung capacity , etc.
Method: First place your hands on the front chest and upper abdomen respectively; then inhale slowly with your nose, your abdomen protrudes, and your hands feel your abdomen lift upwards; finally exhale, exhale with your mouth when exhale, your abdominal muscles contract, and your hands feel your abdomen drop.
Notes:
1. Training 3 to 4 times a day, repeat 8 to 10 times each time.
2. Because abdominal breathing requires increased energy consumption, patients with respiratory diseases should not be trained during the onset of the disease.
