In sports physiology and sports medicine, it is still often assumed that the respiratory system does not limit exercise capacity. This belief is likely the reason why breathing receives so little attention in sports. Did you know, for example, that the breathing frequency provides more insight into the intensity of exercise than traditional parameters such as heart rate and lactate levels? During this webinar, we will raise your awareness about the importance of breathing in sports, based on scientific literature, for both athletes with and without breathing issues.
We will provide practical tools that will allow you to evaluate the breathing of athletes both at rest and during exercise. Additionally, we will give you tips and tricks on how to integrate breathing techniques into your existing training programs. We will briefly discuss the 3 reasons why athletes may experience disproportionate shortness of breath. Finally, we will explain why the diagnosis of exercise-induced asthma is usually an unreliable diagnosis and how you can ensure the diagnosis is correct.

Breathing is the most overlooked and misunderstood tool in sports! Yet it’s a powerful and easy-to-use instrument to boost performance—both for athletes with and without physical complaints.
It doesn’t matter whether you're a sprinter, distance runner, cyclist, or team sport athlete—your breathing has a significant impact on many physiological processes.Did you know, for example, that breathing rate (Nicolo A., 2017) determines how hard an effort feels? Breathing rate shows a stronger correlation with perceived exertion (RPE) compared with traditional parameters like heart rate or lactate levels.
Our webinars are specifically designed for coaches, sports physicians, and athletes who are looking for a summary of the latest scientific literature, as well as practical and technical tools to measure and train breathing.
