Marathon runner Elkonin said that breathing should be free, deep and rhythmic when running
Ultramarathon runner, candidate of medical sciences Alexander Elkonin explained the technique of breathing while running. His words are quoted by Sport-Express.
Elkonin stated that breathing should be free, deep and rhythmic. To do this, you need to relax your upper body and look forward. The shoulders should be slightly lowered, but not rolled forward. He emphasized that the relaxation of the shoulder girdle relieves excessive muscle tension, makes breathing easier and saves energy.
The expert also advised starting each breath from the diaphragm. In his opinion, this contributes to a greater depth of breathing. Elkonin considered that the natural process of respiration should not be interfered with.
On May 2, fitness trainer Maria Volynkina named the best outdoor exercises for the press. The coach advised me to sit on the bench with my hands behind my head and do lifts or twists forward. She also recommended paying attention to outdoor exercise equipment.
