Respiration is a normal physiological phenomenon of human beings and one of the basic forms of human life activities. Respiratory movements mainly rely on the contraction and relaxation movements of two parts of the respiratory muscles, which are specifically manifested in the activities of the chest and abdomen.
Chest breathing
This breathing exercise mainly focuses on rib and sternum activities to meet daily life needs.
Long-term use of chest breathing will cause oxygen to be unable to be fully inhaled into various parts of the body, resulting in hypoxia, palpitations , spasms , anxiety, etc., which is not conducive to lung health.
Abdominal breathing
Breathing exercise based on diaphragm exercise is adapted to higher-intensity exercise
Abdominal breathing is mainly aimed at patients with chronic tracheitis, cor pulmonale, emphysema , etc. Such patients may have the anteroposterior diameter of the thorax greater than or equal to its left and right diameter, and use the lifting and lowering of the diaphragm to expand the upper and lower volumes of the chest cavity and improve ventilation function.
The significance of abdominal breathing
Abdominal breathing three times a day, for at least three minutes each time
- Opens up the blocked meridians of the human body, and helps the body detoxify and remove turbid air for a long time;
- The diaphragm in the human body moves up and down during abdominal breathing, promoting the core function of the human body;
- The contraction and relaxation of abdominal muscles can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and improve digestive function;
- Expand lung capacity. Improve cardiopulmonary function;
- improve abdominal organ function and lower blood pressure by lowering abdominal pressure;
- strengthen lung function and reduce the possibility of pneumonia;
- improve pelvic organ endocrine system and genitourinary system function;
Six-character formula is a health-preserving method passed down in ancient my country, known as the breathing and breathing method. Its biggest feature is: strengthening the internal tissue functions of the human body, fully inducing and mobilizing the potential capabilities of the organs through breathing guidance to resist the invasion of diseases and prevent premature aging that occurs as people age.
Unlike the standing position, the supine position is more conducive to breathing. Because when you lie on your back, the sinking of your organs due to gravity is reduced, making it easier to exhale. In this exercise, you can use this to extend your exhalation time and make your breathing more full and gentle. Prolonged exhalation time can enhance the parasympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system, allowing the body to relax more and enter a regenerative state.
1. Lie naturally on the ground in a supine position, extending your legs or bending your knees to 90 degrees.
2. Picture in your mind some of the important respiratory structures: ribs , lungs, diaphragm, and abdominal muscles.
3. Feel the effect of gravity on your ribs and lungs. Mentally picture the right lung on the right side of the chest and the left lung on the left side of the chest.
4. As you inhale, imagine your diaphragm moving downwards and feel the abdominal wall moving outward (upwards) at this time.
5. As you exhale, imagine your diaphragm moving upward and feel the abdominal wall move inward (downward) toward your spine.
6. During this process, please pay attention to the movements of other parts of the body involved in breathing, such as pelvic floor muscles and ribs.
7. Think of elastic ribs undergoing breathing movements.
8. As you exhale, imagine your ribs as a soft piece of fabric falling downwards, and imagine your diaphragm muscle fibers lengthening.
9. Make a "hissing" sound when exhaling to extend the exhalation time.
10. Relax and take a few breaths, repeating the "sizzle" sound.
11. Notice if your breathing becomes slower or more gentle and brisk at this time.
12. Finally, stand up slowly and return to a standing position. Please maintain full and free breathing exercises in daily activities and exercises.
The significance of breathing training for new crown recovery
Breathing training refers to a training method to ensure smooth respiratory tract, improve respiratory muscle function, promote sputum excretion and sputum drainage, improve blood metabolism of lung and bronchial tissue, and enhance gas exchange efficiency. It is also of great significance to cardiopulmonary function rehabilitation.
