It is essential that our hearts and lungs provide oxygen in the blood stream and tissues for optimal performance and proper disposal of lactate in the blood.

Riders must breathe through the nose!

Did you know that breathing through the nose creates an air avenue that is:

• hydrated
• moist and somewhat filtered

runners should also practice the chest and abdominal breathing ?!

This method is simply a deepening of breath. The nitric oxide is secreted into nasal passages and is inhaled through the nose. It is a potent vasodilator (dilation of blood vessels), and in the lungs, it improves the absorption of oxygen. Nitric oxide is also produced in the walls of blood vessels is essential for all the body’s organs. In addition, when we breathe through the nose, the air passing through the nasal passages and in contact with the horns – bone structures tray-like – is idle. This allows the proper mixing of the air with amazing gas produced in the sinuses called nitric oxide.

• Take slow, deep rhythmic breaths through the nose.
• When the diaphragm drops down, the abdomen is expanded allowing air to rush into the vacuum created in the lungs. Then the chest cavity is expanded, allowing the lungs to fill completely.
• This is followed by a slow, even exhalation which empties the lungs completely.
