Tips & exercises for better breathing

Breathing - a window to our health

A deep breath – that's how life begins. Breathing is much more than just supplying the body with vital oxygen. It is your body's central source of energy. If you don't have enough oxygen in your body, it cannot function optimally. And that applies not only to athletic performance, but also to everyday activities.

What do many people overlook?

The lungs need the strength of the respiratory muscles

Unlike the heart, the lungs themselves have no muscles and cannot be trained. Inhalation and exhalation are controlled by your respiratory muscles. These muscles enable your body to supply itself with oxygen and energy via the respiratory tract.

Our breathing experts will show you how you can train your breathing and how it can help with common complaints such as tension, back pain and stress.

Häufige Fragen und Antworten

What exactly is breathing?

Breathing is a fascinating and vital process in which we take oxygen from the air and release carbon dioxide through the respiratory tract. This exchange takes place in the lungs – more precisely, in the tiny air sacs called alveoli.

How does that work exactly?

When we breathe in, air flows through the nose or mouth into the respiratory tract. From there, it enters the lungs and continues into the alveoli. Gas exchange takes place in these small sacs surrounded by capillaries. Oxygen enters the blood through the fine walls of the alveoli, while carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli to leave our body when we breathe out again.

The oxygen in the blood is essential for our cells to produce energy. Every cell in our body needs oxygen to produce energy with the help of nutrients from our food – a process we call cellular respiration. This is the only way we can think, move and grow.

Why should I train my breathing?

Breathing is closely linked to the autonomic nervous system and reacts to moods. Deep, conscious breathing can relax you and reduce stress, while shallow breathing is often associated with tension. You have probably experienced your breath catching in a daring situation or felt your breath burning in your airways after exercise.

Good breathing can have a positive effect on your endurance and performance, as well as your stress resilience and ability to relax. The rule of thumb is: conscious inhalation can affect your performance, while slow and conscious exhalation promotes relaxation.
