Walk into any fitness center, exercise arena or weight-training room and you will hear a lot of heavy breathing. It is an essential element in lifting weights because breathing properly will increase the effectiveness of the workout. Breathing improperly can lead to high blood pressure and sometimes serious medical problems. Any person who lifts weights or performs similar resistance training needs to learn correct breathing technique.
People who are ailing tend to have deep and heavy breathing patterns which are often noisy. They will be able to experience air movement in nasal passages and shallow breathing will result in heavier chest movements. They will also be affected by hyperventilation which is also the main cause of shallow breathing.
