Have you mastered cycling breathing techniques?
Breathing principle analysis is scientific in cycling.
Maintaining good breathing is beneficial for muscle movement.
For example, breathing is closely related to the energy conversion efficiency of the body, in order to provide sufficient oxygen and allow muscles to release more energy.
The human muscles contain adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the optimal conversion state in about 7 seconds.
Once used, blood sugar will automatically convert, ensuring continuous energy supply for muscles.
And oxygen is an inevitable condition for its transformation, so mastering breathing is beneficial for the release of muscle energy.
Many cyclists ride quickly at the beginning, but after a period of time, they are prone to abdominal pain symptoms, which are actually caused by improper breathing and external air mixing that stimulates the pleura and stomach.
It is inevitable that cycling requires breathing through the mouth, but it is not recommended to breathe cold air directly through the mouth, but to adjust flexibly according to the road conditions.
Riding on a flat road can be satisfied by breathing normally through the nose, or by using the mouth to drive the abdomen to breathe while keeping the nose and mouth down and avoiding the wind.
When a large amount of oxygen is needed for uphill breathing, it is possible to breathe completely through the mouth.
The technique is to naturally open the mouth and slightly roll up the tongue, helping to heat the air and reduce irritation to the internal organs.
Pay special attention to bringing in not only clean air during breathing, but also polluted air, dust, bacteria, etc., which can cause irritation to the lower respiratory tract and cause lung damage; A runny nose is a typical symptom of upper respiratory tract infection.
Especially when riding against the wind, cold air enters the respiratory tract and reaches the lung cavity, and symptoms such as coughing and runny nose are inevitable.
At this point, you should consider inhaling through the nose, exhaling through the mouth, and using nasal hair and nasal cavity to filter and warm the air, reducing irritation to the upper and lower respiratory tracts.
So it’s best to wear a headscarf or mask.
