What is the difference between abdominal breathing and chest breathing?

Also known as diaphragm.

When encountering intense exercise, you will feel unbearable, and the qi is not enough, and abdominal breathing is much deeper than chest breathing, and due to the lungs squeezing the diaphragm and descending, the internal organs are actually moving, which is also one of the reasons why people who sing and practice martial arts live a long life, and the crotch root of the deepest breath is moving.

It's better to respect your body instinct, when your body doesn't have enough oxygen, you will naturally breathe heavily, when your body oxygen is enough, breathe through your nose, you will feel good, breathe through your mouth, you will feel dry, and in the long run, you will naturally transition to exhaling through your nose.

Abdominal breathing: Move the diaphragm up and down, and when you inhale, the diaphragm descends and the abdomen expands, not the chest. Place your hands on your abdomen and chest, which rises and falls with your breath while your chest stays the same.

Practice abdominal breathing to make running easier and more efficient. Similarly, in the initial stage, the ventilation is not large, so it is better to inhale and exhale through the nose, after all, the nose is the real breathing channel, which can filter the inhaled air and protect the trachea and lungs. When the speed of running increases, the nasal inhalation and nasal exhalation cannot meet the needs of the body, so the mouth is needed to cooperate.

When you run for a long time or at a faster speed, it is difficult for nasal breathing to meet the body's need for oxygen, and if you only use nasal breathing, it is easy to make respiratory muscles.

Fatigue. At this time, the mouth should be opened to cooperate with breathing to relieve the pressure on the respiratory muscles. Of course, it is not possible to open the mouth completely, and even into the trachea, the impact will be relatively large.

Especially some dirty things, especially the air in some places, the quality is not good, and you don't go through the nasal moistening and filtration. Therefore, it is easy to enter the lungs directly, which is obviously not good.

Abdominal breathing, the breath is relatively long, not easy to get tired, inhaling the breath in the abdomen, the capacity is large, while the chest breathing only floats on the chest, the breath is very short and unstable.

Abdominal breathing is dominated by diaphragm movements, and the upper and lower diameters of the chest increase during inspiration. When you breathe in abdominal breathing, your diaphragm muscles will drop and your abdominal pressure will increase, making it feel as if air is entering your abdomen directly, and if you put your hand on your belly button, you will feel your hand slightly raised up and down. We can even tell a person's current health from the length of their breath and breathing patterns.

Our breathing is inseparable from the movement of the lungs, and the lungs are like two air sacs in a closed bellows, if the chest cavity is compared to the wall of the bellows, then the diaphragm is the bottom of the bellows.

In order to resist resistance, the body will instinctively start to hold our breath, because holding breath can immediately improve our body's strength, reaction speed, control ability, enhance our intra-abdominal pressure, and maintain the stability of the core area, which is our instinctive reaction when we encounter "danger". Why can't it be now, the nutrition at that time was far less than now, but the biggest thing is that they often do heavy physical work, and their breathing ability is greatly enhanced.

Many people are accustomed to breathing only with the chest, this breathing mode is mainly the expansion and contraction of the chest, and the diaphragm movement is small, so that the breathing is mostly concentrated in the upper and middle parts of the lungs, and the lower part of the lungs will gradually shrink and even fibrosis after a long time due to the small movement. But there is really a difference between different breathing methods for different purposes, such as singing, some people use it"Abdominal pose"It's really better when you breathe and pull sounds"Pulmonary"Smooth. It is mainly related to some subtle muscle activity in the body.

I don't have an in-depth understanding of how to say it, after all, it's just a person.

For example, vocal music, opera, broadcasting, etc., in order to make the voice clear, powerful, round, and full, you also need to use the chest and abdomen to breathe, this breathing method can also protect the vocal cords and avoid vocal cord damage caused by long-term use of voice. There are muscle groups in the abdomen that can actively control the movement of the abdomen and reduce the force on the vocal cords.

First of all, abdominal breathing is generally to breathe with the abdomen, and the stomach will also bulge when you inhale; However, chest breathing is mainly chest breathing, and then the chest will also bulge.

Chest breathing is often the chest is constantly undulating, and the chest ups and downs are relatively large, which is suitable for most women, but abdominal breathing, under normal circumstances, their abdomen will have a certain rise and fall, and most men will use this breathing method.

The main difference is that one breathes with the chest and the other breathes with the stomach. This is mainly based on the person's situation, how to breathe comfortably. There's no need to get too nervous.

Mainly because one is a chest exercise, the other is a stomach exercise, and the muscles driven are not the same.

The rate of breathing is also different, and chest breathing, compared to abdominal breathing, is deeper in and out.

Chest breathing is also a particularly healthy way to breathe, but abdominal breathing may not be very good.

Different breathing methods, different suitability for men and women, different parts of force, different breathing rates, and different breathing effects; Because these two types of breathing are different from men and women, chest breathing is for women and abdominal breathing is for men, they can regulate the body's functions and benefit physical health.

There are mainly differences in breathing mode, respiratory rate, number of breaths, breathing parts, and breathing effect. Because these two breathing methods are mainly different parts of the breathing method, there will be some differences in the location and frequency.

The target is different, the amount of air breathed is different, the frequency is different, the effect is different, and the impact on the body is different. Because these two methods are studied for different problems.

The way of breathing is different, the area of exertion is different, the impact on the body is different, and the breathing time is different, which is caused by the body.

1. The main moving parts are different.

Thoracic breathing is mainly driven by the intercostal muscles, while abdominal breathing is dominated by diaphragm movement, and the upper and lower diameters of the thoracic cage increase during inspiration.

2. The amount of air inhaled each time is different.

A normal abdominal breath takes about 10-15 seconds and inhales about 500 ml of air. Abdominal breathing adds the movement of the diaphragm, so it can draw in more air than chest breathing, and there are more gas-filled parts of the lungs, which is an ideal breathing position.

3. The respiratory rate is different.

Compared to chest breathing, abdominal breathing has a deeper exhalation and inhalation, which can give enough oxygen to the lungs. The breathing rate is slower, so it is suitable for activities that require slow air in and out, such as singing and yoga.

1. The moving parts are different.

Thoracoabdominal breathing through the contraction of the outer intercostal muscles, lifting the ribs, expanding the chest cavity, inhaling air into the lungs, when the internal intercostal muscles contract, pulling the ribs backwards, the chest cavity shrinks, and air is exhaled from the lungs. Abdominal breathing is mainly to move the diaphragm up and down, and it is done by increasing the activity of the diaphragm and reducing the movement of the chest.

2. The depth of breathing is different.

Chest and abdominal breathing: The stomach swells due to the lower diaphragm when you inhale. As a result, the diaphragm will rise higher than usual when you exhale, allowing Chunhui to breathe deeply and exhale more carbon dioxide that tends to stagnate at the bottom of the lungs. Thoracic breathing is a very shallow breath, and when inhaling, the activity of the diaphragm is not easy to decrease, and the expansion of the helper bone is limited, resulting in a small amount of inhaled gas, so that it only reaches the upper lungs.

3. The effect is different.

Thoracic and abdominal breathing fully mobilizes the active role of the vocal organs. Not only can it draw in enough air, but it can also stabilize the tension between the two ribs and the diaphragm, which is conducive to strengthening the force of sound. Abdominal breathing can expand lung capacity, improve cardiopulmonary function, and can also effectively eliminate excess fat in the abdomen.

Abdominal breathing doesn't really draw air into the navel. Conversely, deep inhalation and slow exhalation contract the abdominal diaphragm. We adults have become accustomed to shallow breathing, inhaling oxygen before it reaches the bottom of the lungs.

So most people don't get a good exercise in the lower part of the lungs, they don't get enough oxygen inhaled, and the bottom of the lungs gradually loses their function and begins to have various pathologies. Abdominal breathing requires long breaths. As you inhale, consciously inflate your abdomen and press down on the diaphragm to make more room for oxygen.

<> breathing According to the primary and secondary, the degree and degree of exertion of the respiratory muscles involved in the activity are different, and breathing exercises can present different types, mainly including abdominal breathing, chest breathing, forced breathing, and calm breathing. Next, I'll cover abdominal breathing and chest breathing. Abdominal breathing is a breathing exercise characterized by contraction and contraction of the diaphragm, as the contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm causes the abdominal organs to displace, resulting in the rise and fall of the abdomen.

The activity that contracts with the external intercostal muscles is called thoracic breathing, because the contraction of the external intercostal muscles can cause the chest to rise and fall.

Under normal circumstances, the breathing exercise in adults is a mixture of abdomen-chest, only when the restriction is taken in a single way. In the third trimester of pregnancy, flatulence or peritonitis is mainly used in the chest in cases where diaphragm movement is restricted, while in infants, abdominal breathing is mainly used because the ribs are basically aligned with the spine and the vertical inclination angle is small, and the rib movement is not easy to expand the capacity of the sternum. The biggest difference between abdominal breathing and chest breathing is that the diaphragm descends and one rib expands.

The former uses the diaphragm and phrenic nerve, and the latter uses the intercostal muscles and intercostal nerves. Under normal circumstances, abdominal breathing can be performed while lying down, sitting, or walking.

The main problem is that people who are used to chest breathing will not adapt, such as pregnant women, maternity, diaphragm, etc., and the decline is limited. In order to learn, my personal advice is to start by lying down and puff up your stomach like a ball, so that the diaphragm goes down, the chest cavity is low, and the gas enters. You can put one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach.

Take it two to three times, then consciously pay attention to abdominal breathing, slowly form a habit, and it will become natural. As for the benefits, to put it simply, abdominal breathing can better circulate lung qi and prolong life, haha. Running water does not rot, and door hinges do not decay.

Just like chest breathing, you can only exhale about a third of the air in your lungs. All other gases are at the bottom of the lungs, where they cannot be renewed.

1.The breathing effect is not the same, and the breathing effect of abdominal breathing and chest breathing is different. Abdominal breathing strengthens the lungs and also reduces lung infections.

Abdominal breathing can increase lung capacity and strengthen the heart, while chest breathing oxygen can not be fully absorbed into all parts of the body, which is not good for the human body for a long time, and different degrees of hypoxia will occur.

2.Abdominal breathing is better than chest breathing, abdominal breathing and chest breathing, of course, abdominal breathing is better. Abdominal breathing increases lung capacity and strengthens the heart. Chest breathing, on the other hand, does not have such a good effect, and it is not the same for the body.

3.The biggest difference between abdominal breathing and chest breathing is that abdominal breathing has a larger range of motion and will make it easier to control breathing. In order to be able to breathe evenly, it provides good conditions.

However, chest breathing, if used for a long time, can lead to a state of hypoxia in the body's organs.

The breathing patterns of these two parts are different, and choosing abdominal breathing can better purify the respiratory tract. It's also better for the body. It is able to expel turbid gas from the body.

Abdominal breathing, compared with chest breathing (also known as shallow breathing), can make more full use of the diaphragm, avoid overuse of shoulder and neck muscles, so that the chest can be maximized, abdominal breathing can help control the symptoms of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, the difference between abdominal breathing and chest breathing is mainly due to the different parts of the breathing movement, the different amount of air inhaled, and the different respiratory rate.
