Middle-distance running and long-distance running have a similar breathing method, but the frequency is more compact and the breathing rhythm is more important.
In middle-distance running, breathing techniques are crucial as they are in long-distance running, as they rely on physical endurance. Oxygen uptake during breathing during running is critical for maintaining speed endurance. Today, let's talk about how to breathe properly during middle-distance running.
The conceptual distance of middle-distance running in athletics generally refers to 800 meters and 1500 meters.
First, let's talk about breathing techniques for middle-distance running. Middle-distance running is a running method that belongs to the nature of speed and endurance, and the running process is in a "mixed oxygen" state of "aerobic-anaerobic" alternating "aerobic". Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a more stable breathing rhythm in order to better control and control the speed.
Generally speaking, middle-distance running can adopt the method of inhaling every two steps and exhaling every two steps, which can effectively improve the efficiency of oxygen utilization and replenish energy consumption in time, which is different from the way of long-distance running every three steps and one breath (because long-distance running requires a longer period of continuous exercise and cannot breathe frequently, otherwise it is easy to cause premature fatigue of the body).
At the same time, middle-distance running also needs to pay attention to the depth of breathing, try to let each breath go deep into the lungs, so as to better replace the residual qi and effectively provide good oxygen for the body, so as to better maintain the uniformity and stability of breathing.
In addition, middle-distance running also needs to pay attention to the coordination of breathing and pace, and try to keep the breathing and pace consistent, so as to strengthen the coordination of running state and reduce unnecessary energy expenditure.
In conclusion, mastering the correct breathing techniques for middle-distance running can not only improve athletic performance, but also reduce the risk of sports injuries.
