If breathing is the key to health, then perhaps we have lost this 'key' and are breathing incorrectly? Many popular books, magazines, and TV shows claim just that and offer 'newest breathing techniques' that supposedly will rid us of all diseases. Moreover, instructions on how to breathe - whether often or rarely, deeply or superficially, etc. - are varied and sometimes contradictory.
The authors of this book convincingly, based on scientific data, show that trendy 'breathing systems' ('techniques', 'practices', 'methods') are myths that have nothing to do with either the physiology of breathing or practical medicine. The breathing of a healthy person is controlled by perfect physiological mechanisms and does not require 'correction'.
Another matter is the use of breathing exercises for treating and preventing diseases, for improving health, and for enhancing sports performance. The book presents modern methods of improving and training breathing recommended by specialists. Which breathing exercises are truly beneficial for a healthy person, and which are needed for a sick person? How to breathe correctly when we speak or sing, walk or run, swim or perform gymnastic exercises? How to overcome the 'dead point' during heavy physical exertion? What breathing techniques allow one to quickly deal with anxiety? What are the dangers of snoring at night and deep anesthesia? How to save a person whose breathing has suddenly stopped for some reason? Curious readers can find answers to all these questions and much more important information about our breathing in this book.
The book is intended for a wide range of readers actively interested in health, physical education, and sports, as well as for physiologists and doctors, including specialists in therapeutic gymnastics and sports medicine.
