Optimising oxygen for performance đââď¸
Elite performance isnât just built in the gym. Itâs built in the breath.
Nasal breathing is increasingly recognised as a physiological advantage in high-performance sport. Unlike mouth breathing, it:
⢠Filters and humidifies incoming air
⢠Produces nitric oxide to support oxygen uptake
⢠Improves COâ tolerance
⢠Encourages diaphragmatic breathing
When athletes default to mouth breathing particularly during sleep, recovery can suffer.
Disrupted sleep cycles. Airway irritation. Dehydration.
Performance doesnât start at training.
It starts with how you breathe.
