@drdevons: Effective breathing patterns are crucial for improving heart rate recovery (HRR) after exercise. Rhythmic breathing, such as the 2:2 or 3:3 patterns, helps synchronize breathing with running cadence, promoting efficient oxygen delivery to muscles and enhancing overall cardiovascular function. Deep diaphragmatic breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, aiding in quicker heart rate reduction post-exercise. This not only enhances athletic performance but also reduces the risk of cardiovascular stress and improves overall fitness. #longevity #wellness #exercise #cardio
