In American football, breathing efficiently is important for performing your best. You can use the Oxxy breathing app for improve your game 🏈🔥

💪 Your Muscles Create Energy

Oxygen is a predictor of athletic performance. Inhaling air carries oxygen to the muscles via the bloodstream. Your body uses part of the oxygen immediately and uses the other half to break down glucose and generate ATP energy for the muscle. ATP energy fuels your body during an intense workout session.

🏈 Football Demands More Oxygen

Football demands your body produce more oxygen. To meet your body's demand, your heart rate, and breathing increase. Muscles that don't receive oxygen instantly break down glucose into lactic acid rather than energy. When you have no energy, it results in fatigued muscles.

😌 Recovery Process Demands More Oxygen

Increased oxygen levels facilitate the breakdown of lactic acid, which increases your oxygen supply after working out and speed up your recovery process.

For your oxygen supply to increase, you need to improve your breathing by using a breathing exercises at least two times each day. Using breathing exercises will increase the percentage of oxygen level after training, workout, or playing.

🧠 Oxygen Improves Focus and Mental Clarity

Your brain can't store oxygen as your body can. Your brain requires a steady flow of air for peak performance. Improved breathing will allow your body to generate more oxygen, which your brain can also utilize to help you focus.

⏰ Oxygen Helps You Play Longer

You can train your respiratory muscles to allow your lungs to take in more oxygen, so it can provide your body with the energy it needs to stay in the game for a long duration.

The intake of fresh oxygen allows your muscles to perform efficiently before they need to reach into the anaerobic system for energy.

Practising a simple breathing exercise for just 5 minutes a day for one month could boost your mood better then meditation 😜💫

🔬Melis Yilmaz Balban at Stanford University in California and her colleagues randomly assigned 114 people, average age 27, across the US to practise one of three breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation for 5 minutes per day at home, at any time that suited them 🗓️

1️⃣ One breathing exercise was cyclic sighing, which involves inhaling slowly and then taking another short breath in to fully inflate the lungs, before breathing out for as long as possible (this practice is available in the Oxxy breathing app, link in bio)

2️⃣ Another exercise was box breathing: inhaling, holding the breath, exhaling and holding the exhaled breath again (this practice is available in the Oxxy breathing app, link in bio)

3️⃣ The last was cyclic hyperventilation. This involves taking longer inhales and shorter exhales 30 times before exhaling fully (this practice also is available in the Oxxy breathing app, link in bio)

4️⃣ The participants who were assigned to mindfulness meditation didn’t practise any breath control, but passively observed their breathing to help focus their awareness on the present moment 🧘

All four groups showed improvements in mood and reductions in anxiety after one month, according to daily questionnaires ☺️

However, this was more pronounced among those doing the breathing exercises, particularly cyclic sighing, compared with meditation 🔥🔥🔥

Here's a quick simple guide to boosting your breathing power for surfing 🏄🏽‍♀️🏄🏽🏄🏽‍♂️🌊

Breathing exercises to increase lung capacity are not a myth, but you'll hold your breath longer without a clock stressing your brain.
Therefore, dry training is the best to start improving your breath-hold 🫁

You can rapidly learn how to hold your breath for five minutes! 🫢 Take it step-by-step. One of the secrets is to keep muscles ultra-relaxed and quiet so that they don't waste oxygen.

There are many advantages to improving your breath-hold. Breathing longer means being able to challenge two- to three-wave hold-downs and giant waves closing out in front of your eyes 🌊🌊🌊

A simple program for holding your breath for long periods of time:

1️⃣ Start breathing slowly for 60 seconds. The Oxxy breathing mobile app can help you control it 🌀
2️⃣ Take a deep breath in, then exhale everything
3️⃣ Take a really deep breath in, and hold your breath 🫢
4️⃣ Relax ⏳
5️⃣ When you reach your limit, inhale deeply and recover

Repeat the process a few times, and you'll notice that your breath-hold extends as weeks go by.

In a month, you'll be able to improve your breathing significantly, more or less according to the following pattern:

≤ 60 seconds | 180 seconds
+- 90 seconds | 240 seconds
≥ 120 seconds | 300 seconds

The three most important things when training your breathing system:
💎 relaxation of the muscles
💎 relaxation of the mind
💎 relaxation of the breath

🚨WARNING: When training in breath holds never push to the absolute limit as this could result in a blackout or potentially even death. Remember that you should not push your limits just because you feel you have to do it. Progress slowly and comfortably! Be careful 🙏

A lot of research has shown that deep breathing can do wonders for your mind, body, and soul ✨
Deep breathing exercises during pregnancy helps you deal with stress, releases toxins, and relaxes mind, body and improves mood 🫄

🐣 Here 8 benefits of Deep breathing during pregnancy:

1️⃣ Detoxifies and releases toxins
70% of the toxins in your body are released through breathing 🙀 OMG!

2️⃣ Releases tension
Think how your body feels when you stressed. It constricts. Your muscles get tight and your breathing becomes shallow. When your breathing is shallow you are not getting the amount of oxygen that your body needs.

3️⃣ Relaxes mind, body and brings clarity
Oxygenation of the brain reducing excessive anxiety levels. As you relax your body, you may find that the breathing brings clarity and insights to you as well.

4️⃣ Strengthens the immune system
Oxygen travels through your bloodstream by attaching to haemoglobin in your red blood cells. This in turn then enriches your body to metabolise nutrients and vitamins.

5️⃣ Strengthens heart
Breathing exercises reduce the workload on the heart in two ways. Firstly, deep breathing leads to more efficient lungs, which means more oxygen, is brought into contact with blood sent to the lungs by the heart. So, the heart doesn't have to work as hard to deliver oxygen to the tissues. Secondly, deep breathing leads to a greater pressure differential in the lungs, which leads to an increase in the circulation, thus resting the heart a little.

6️⃣ Assists in weight control
If you are overweight, the extra oxygen burns up the excess fat more efficiently. If you are underweight, the extra oxygen feeds the starving tissues and glands.

7️⃣ Boosts energy levels and improves stamina

8️⃣ Elevates moods
Breathing increase pleasure-inducing neurochemicals in the brain to elevate moods and combat physical pain.

It's common for some athletes to feel anxious before training or competitions 😰

Unfortunately, the physical response to performance anxiety (increased muscle tension, narrowed visual field, greater distractibility) increases an athlete's odds of injury, note the authors of a 2017 paper in Open Access Journal of Sports Medicine 😵

Pre-competition can help to ease anxiety 🧘 Breathing in and out through your nose (known as nasal breathing) can help to calm down ✨ Nasal breathing tends to be slower, which can lead to taking fuller, deeper breaths, according to Mitch Lomax, Ph.D., senior lecturer at the University of Portsmouth and a researcher who studies breathing limitations during exercise. And, she adds, those fuller, deeper breaths stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system—the part of the nervous system responsible for carrying out basic functions in the body—promoting a calming effect 🌀

Box breathing, a form of deep yogic breathing, can help you relax even more by giving your brain something to focus on counting 😑 According to the Cleveland Clinic, this technique involves breathing in slowly for four counts, holding for four counts, breathing out for four counts and pausing for four counts. Then, you repeat three times. Silently counting the beats can act as a form of meditation to calm the nervous system and keep you grounded in the present moment.

Why breathing is so effective at reducing stress? 🤔

Research shows that different emotions are associated with different forms of breathing, and so changing how we breathe can change how we feel 😡🤯😵👉🏼🥰😊😌

For example, when you feel joy, your breathing will be regular, deep and slow. If you feel anxious or angry, your breathing will be irregular, short, fast, and shallow 😮‍💨

When you follow breathing patterns associated with different emotions, you’ll actually begin to feel those corresponding emotions 🙌🪄💫

How does this work? Changing the rhythm of your breath can signal relaxation, slowing your heart rate and stimulating the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain stem to the abdomen, and is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s “rest and digest” activities (in contrast to the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates many of our “fight or flight” responses). Triggering your parasympathetic nervous system helps you start to calm down. You feel better. And your ability to think rationally returns 🧘

To get an idea of how breathing can calm you down, try changing the ratio of your inhale to exhale. This approach is one of several common practices that use breathing to reduce stress. When you inhale, your heart rate speeds up. When you exhale, it slows down. Breathing in for a count of four and out for a count of eight for just a few minutes can start to calm your nervous system. Remember: when you feel agitated, lengthen your exhales ☺️

The Oxxy breathing mobile app will help you quickly and easily master breathing techniques, which allow you to control your emotions and always be calm and happy 🥰

🙀 According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 50% of all lifetime mental illnesses develop by age 14, and 75% develop by age 24🚨

Anxiety is a mental illness that millions of teens experience. It’s the most common mental illness experienced in America, and NAMI reports that 7% of children ages 3 to 17 experience an anxiety disorder, such as generalized anxiety disorder 😌

What do you do if you notice that you have an anxious teen? What are ways to manage anxiety?

7 Ways to Deal with Anxiety for teens:

🌀Deep Breathing Exercises
Medicine has known for a long time that practicing deep breathing exercises helps during anxious moments. has a few excellent exercises for dealing with anxiety including "Panic Button" for express help.

🧘Meditation
Managing anxiety can be easier for your teen if he or she practices meditation.

🙌🏼Getting Adequate Sleep, Nutrition, and Sport
In a world where it’s common for teens to stay up late playing video games with their friends, it’s important that you talk to your teen about the importance of getting a full night’s sleep, eating healthy foods, and exercising regularly.

👥Having Positive Peer Connections
If your anxious teen is hanging around with the wrong group of kids, those peers may be increasing his or her anxiety. You must provide positive feedback to your teens when they are hanging around good influences and create opportunities for your teen to find a supportive, positive group of peers to be around.

🌿Spend Time in Nature
Coping with an anxiety disorder is easier when regularly spending time outdoors.

🤗Focusing on the Positives
So much of living with anxiety is fearing the unknown and the “what ifs.” Anxious teens are also known to experience more anxiety by reliving bad experiences or mistakes. Encourage your anxious teen to focus on the positives that he or she encounters.

📝Journaling
You can buy your teen a blank journal to write in. Journaling helps teens express themselves in ways they may not otherwise know how to do. Another advantage of journaling is that it allows time for accurate reflection.

Whether you’re running outside or if you’ve invested in a treadmill deal, learning how to breathe effectively will mean you can run faster, feel less stressed when you run, and you may even start to enjoy it 🏃🏽‍♀️

The harder you run the more out of breath you’ll get because your respiratory system is used to breathing in a particular pattern. Relaxing, as much as possible, while you run, can be difficult, but can help to regulate your breathing.

"The most common mistake that people make when they start running is they go off too fast and don’t learn to pace themselves," Nick Anderson, head coach for Saucony and GB & EA running coach, told.

So, how does running too fast impact your breathing? It means you go into an oxygen debt, where you are working much harder than the amount of oxygen that you’re taking on - you can only operate in the anaerobic area for a short amount of time before you’ll need to slow down to get back into the aerobic zone.

Tana von Zitzewitz, a personal trainer and master trainer at Barry’s UK believes nasal breathing is the way to control this: "It’s a great way to get a large amount of oxygen deep into the lungs whilst helping the body to be able to tolerate levels of carbon dioxide."

A study by Colorado State University proved this when testing the effectiveness of nasal breathing on 10 runners, over a six-month period. Their findings showed that during nasal breathing their respiratory rate, and breaths per minute decreased, while their intake of oxygen and outtake of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream increased 🚀

"Ideally, it’s best to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Using both nose and mouth also helps us to gauge the intensity of our running," Tana, who is also a UKA Run Leader, told 🙌🏼

If you’re not sure what pace you should be running, Anderson advises running at the speed of chat: "In the early weeks, when you’re just beginning your running journey, if you can’t easily chat to someone next to you then you’re running too hard. As you get fitter and stronger you can play with different training zones."

In 2022 we will add to the .io app breathing exercises for marathon and sprint running ⚡️

🔬 In 2015 Cheryl Yang and her team at National Yang-Ming University in Taiwan showed that 20 minutes of slow breathing exercises (six respiration cycles per minute) before going to bed significantly improves sleep 😴

Insomniac participants went to sleep faster, woke up less frequently in the night and went back to sleep faster when they did wake up. On average, it took them only 10 minutes to fall asleep, almost three times faster than normal 🙀👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The investigators attributed the results both to the calming mediated by the parasympathetic system and to the relaxing effect of focused breathing 🌀
