Eric Harbour is a researcher at Salzburg University dedicated to exploring the role of breath in exercise, in all of its facets. Here we discuss his recent paper Breath Tools, in which he outlines the key parameters of breath and their effects on training, performance, and the enjoyment of exercise through physiological and psychological pathways. Specifically he describes the importance of rate, depth, nasal vs. mouth, active exhale, sync, strength, and hold. Listen in if you want to dive deep into the details of breath.
