Don’t try it at home, but there is one takeaway from Iga Swiatek’s mouth-taping exercise.
, hypoxic training is used to improve performance in sport disciplines requiring high levels of aerobic endurance.It’s an approach athletes have been using for decades, says Tony Blazevich, a professor of biomechanics at Edith Cowan University.
He suspects Swiatek’s tape was less likely an attempt to induce hypoxia and instead perhaps a technique aimed at improving respiratory muscle strength. For the past three years, the Bondi resident has taped his mouth during runs to prove this point. “You can adapt, and you become efficient and effective at breathing through the nose,” he says.“Nasal breathing will help slow the rhythm down,” he says, adding that by doing this people can increase the oxygen that makes its way into working tissue. “It’s about slowing the breath down to increase the oxygen into the tissues.
