Although the ability to breathe is absolutely critical, the science and practical application of breathing has figuratively “skipped†past the weight room on its way to the mind-body studio. Heavy Breathing-The Science and Practice of Respiration During Resistance Training reviews the research of respiration as it relates to strength training and shows how commonly employed breathing techniques actually work to hinder the biomechanics and physiology of the body. The DVD details how to assess breathing patterns and explains how properly-timed breathing can facilitate optimal movement and enhance performance during resistance training.
