Breath and athletic performance

Breath directly influences oxygen delivery, CO₂ tolerance, and the nervous system state that underpins athletic performance. Athletes who learn to breathe with purpose—maintaining composure under exertion, recovering efficiently between efforts—gain a competitive advantage that extends beyond physiology into the psychological resilience required for high performance.
