In recent years the word breathwork has become ubiquitous. It appears in wellness programs, recovery routines and even in high-performance training environments. But what does it actually mean? Is it just a trend, or are we looking at a tool with solid physiological foundations? The answer lies in how we understand breathing itself. Breathing is much more …

The Science of Breathing: How RMT Enhances Aerobic Power and Delays Fatigue

by Consuelo SotoBreathwork & Respiratory Training, English, SciencePosted on No Comments

When endurance athletes hit a plateau, they often look to tweak training intensity, diet, or recovery. But one critical and often overlooked component might be holding them back: respiratory muscle function. The muscles that power our breathing—like the diaphragm and intercostals—are trainable, and targeted respiratory muscle training (RMT) can deliver measurable performance gains, even for already well-trained …

Introduction to Breathwork for Endurance Athletes

by Consuelo SotoBreathwork & Respiratory Training, English, SciencePosted on No Comments

Research suggests that controlled, deliberate breathing patterns can dramatically affect sports outcomes. For instance, specific breathing techniques have been shown to enhance endurance performance by improving oxygen utilization and delaying the onset of fatigue[1]. Other studies have documented how different breathing techniques can either enhance or impair athletic performance, depending on their application, underscoring the …
