Enhance Sports Performance

Sport cartoonHave you ever considered how your breathing might be limiting your sports performance?
If you find it difficult to breathe through your nose when exercising, if exercise makes you breathless, if you are slow to recover and if you suffer from any of the symptoms mentioned on this website, then getting your breathing assessed might be the single-most-important consideration to improve your fitness.

A poor breathing pattern will

  • limit oxygen exchange
  • increase the production of lactic acid and subsequently leave the athlete with residual muscle soreness
  • increase dehydration
  • increase the occurrence of cramp
  • increase recovery time
  • elevate the heart rate
  • increase baseline anxiety
  • contribute to poor sleep patterns.

The Buteyko Breathing Clinic's programme aims to normalise the breathing pattern. When the body is working within its physiologically normal parameters it can work at its optimum.

Many athletes both in New Zealand and internationally have used Buteyko to improve their sporting performance.
