Breathing Saccaded

Saccadic breathing, also known as interrupted breathing, is a type of breathing exercise used to improve health and fitness. It differs from normal breathing in that each inhalation and exhalation is performed quickly and intermittently.

Saccadic breathing may be beneficial for people with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension, or other conditions that may impair breathing. This type of breathing can also help people who need to improve their fitness and endurance.

To perform saccade breathing, you need to take a deep breath through your nose and then exhale sharply through your mouth. You need to repeat this procedure several times until you feel that your breathing is becoming deeper and more even.

However, before you begin saccade breathing, you should consult with your doctor or exercise professional to ensure that the exercise will not harm your health or fitness.

In general, saccadic breathing is an effective way to improve respiratory function and strengthen the body. However, before you start doing it, you need to consult with a specialist and make sure that this exercise is safe for your health.

Breathing is one of the functions of the body, ensuring the entry of oxygen into the body and the removal of carbon dioxide from it. Breathing accompanies gas exchange processes in the lungs of animals and humans; it is also necessary for the absorption of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide by cells in all organs without exception. The respiratory center, which is located in the medulla oblongata at the bottom of the IV ventricle, is controlled. Breathing is controlled by the processes of excitation and inhibition in a certain center of the medulla oblongata. In healthy people, the inhalation delay is about 20 seconds, and the exhalation delay is about 40 seconds. In addition, it is necessary to take into account that for healthy breathing you need to breathe through your nose, gradually inhaling through your nose, then hold your breath for a while and then exhale just as slowly. To avoid oxygen starvation, on average, a person should take 8-16 (sometimes more) deep breaths per minute. In poor health, a person is strongly advised to control the number of inhalations and exhalations per minute at rest, given that inhalation lasts about one and a half seconds.

In one of the types of the disease - a violation of the control of the respiratory center - rapid breathing may be observed, so it is important to follow measures to prevent respiratory diseases.
