- elric 6y agoWhy not? I can't think of many sports where mouth breathing makes sense, except anything that involves swimming where you have a very limited window to get air down your lungs.
- matsemann 6y agoCan't get enough air through nose only when exercising hard.
- bagacrap 6y agoare you sure? the respiration rate is mostly driven by co2 levels in the blood, not lack of oxygen. you can breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth and still get enough oxygen for threshold efforts
