The Importance of Addressing Breathing Pattern Disorders in Athletes
Breathing pattern disorders, also known as dysfunctional breathing, are conditions that cause problematic breathing and symptoms such as breathlessness. It can be caused by psychological or physiological habits, such as breathing too deeply, breathing too fast (both symptoms of hyperventilation), upper chest breathing during rest, or breathing irregularly with frequent breath-holding or sighing.
