STRESS: Physiological Impacts onBreathing
Short term (fight-or-flight): Fast rapid Breathing. Long Term (chronic stress): Shallow, less
frequent breathing

Diaphragmatic Breathing vs. Chest Breathing
ADVANTAGES
Draws greater volume of 02 into the lungs Utilizing upper and lower Alveoli

CHEST BREATHING
DISADVANTAGES
Draws lesser volume
of O2 into lungs. Only utilizing upperAlveoli.

Whats better- Breathing through thenose or mouth?
Research shows morebenefits with nosebreathing.
Slows Breathing More air resistance when
exhaling
Humidifies air Reduces fluid loss

What type of Breather are you?
Put one hand on your abdomen and the otherhand on your upper chest.
Take a deep breath, breathing in through yournoise. Determine which hand moves. If your abdomen hand moves than you are a
diaphragmatic breatherif your chest handmoves than you are a thoracic breather.

Scientific Study
The study was Effects of Breathing Exercises on Breathing Patternsin Obese and Non-obese subjects. It was done by the Departmentof Physiotherapy.
The aim of the study was to describe and to analyse the breathingpatterns in obese and non-obese subjects during three differentbreathing techniques used frequently.

Scientific Study cont
Lung volumes were measured by means of a flow displacemen bodyplethysmograph.
The various tests were done in a sitting position in theplethysmograph, and the average result of three acceptablemanoeuvres was used to obtain total lung capacity.
Breathing patterns recordings of volume against time, weremonitored while the subject was sitting in the body plethysmograph.

Scientific Study Cont
The pressure during breathing was measured using a manometerconnected to the mouthpiece.
After a 5-min pause,the breathing pattern at rest was recorded. Theparticipants were given instructions about and then they practicedthe three different breathing techniques.
7/28/2019 WS07 Breathing
36/43
RESULTS
The differences in the recorded values between the obese and non-obese subjects were not significant.
The overall breathing patterns during rest and the three techniqueswere significantly different from each other within the group ofobese and non-obese subjects respectively. However, as wasexpected FRC was reduced in the obsese subjects.
The breathing techniques used in the study are to be very importantpost-operative mainly by having effects on airway closure.

TRY THIS!
1. Stand comfortably, feet shoulder width apart. Relax yourbreathing, smile and focus in on the center of your body at navellevel.
2. Start to rock back and forth gently, inhaling as you rock forward
onto balls of feet, exhaling as you rock backward onto heels. 3. As you inhale, lift your relaxed arms to the sides, as if they were
waves. As you exhale, let your arms float down. Hands, nevertouch, but you can imagine they are pulsing around an imaginaryball of energy emanating from your navel.
4. As the wave pulsing feeling grows, feel it penetrating deeperinside your body, into inner dimensions, and then pulsing back outagain. Feel the outer wave expanding beyond your body into theroom and as far as you are able to feel it. Practice for as long asyou feel comfortable. You will get both relaxed and energized by theprocess.

4. As the wave pulsing feeling grows, feel it penetratingdeeper inside your body, into inner dimensions, and thenpulsing back out again. Feel the outer wave expanding
beyond your body into the room and as far as you areable to feel it. Practice for as long as you feelcomfortable. You will get both relaxed and energized bythe process.
5. Afterwards, cover your navel with both hands, and focusinside on any subtle feelings of vibration, warmth, orpulsation. teaches us to actually understand andexperience deeply what it is that we are already doingwith each breath.
