IMPACT OF BREATHING EXERCISES ON THE QUALITY OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PERFORMANCE

Summary/Abstract: Breathing, as the basis of human life, has been studied for a decade. Training periodization has been a part of sports science for a long time, but exercise scientists are still trying to find the perfect individual plan for each athlete. According to this knowledge and with the aim of achieving invincible results, scientific research is increasing including respiratory exercises in tactical and technical preparations. Sound knowledge of respiratory physiology leaves a quality background to the researchers for finding and explaining the impact of conducting breath exercises as an important part of training periodization. Certainly, breathing exercises in professional and amateur athletes give consequently better vital capacity results, utilization of VO2max and economy of movement. The main goal of the study is to explain how breathing exercise impacts physical performance and how respiratory system exercise develops maximal oxygen consumption. Evaluation of databases (PubMed, Cochrane and Elsevier) has given valuable results for this study. Although the sport and medical science have a lot of high-quality knowledge and information about the importance of breathing and the positive effects of respiratory training, it is still not included in everyday behaviour, by nor average person, or professional athletes.
