How can i run and breath more efficiently?

Question

I had my first high school football practice today and the coach told us to stand up to breath better is this true, if not what is a good way to get air after/during running

Answer 1

This is true because the higher you're off the ground the fresher the air is. If you want maximum air flow try putting your arms on top of your head while breathing or putting them at your sides.  

Answer 2

Based on the wording of your question, it seems fair to saseemst you are new the high school athletics. As a result, you may have not done a lot of conditioalso on your own over the summer. This has been a very common experience in my 10 years of coaching high school distance runners for the cross country season.

Your question has two answers, one for recover from sessions within the workout and after the completion of the entire workout.

1.Within the workout:

Keep standing and bend, at the waist, over so that chest is face down, this position will the heart to pump blood easier with gravitational.  Hold this position for about 30 seconds.

Do not sit down!

Keep moving around, this will prevent the buildup of Lactate Acid in your muscles and slow bring down your heart rate. Walk over and to the water fountain, and slowly drink some of water.

Fact: the better shape you’re in the faster you will recover!

2.After the Work out:

Slowly drink lots of water, this will speed- up the recovery process

Immediately after the workout, try to get 20-30 grams of protein into your stomach. This should be done within the first 30minutes after completing the workout.  Personally I do it immediately after the workout so I don’t have think about it.    Note: Sport drinks with lots of sugar actually pull the needed water away from your muscles to your stomach in order to dilute the sugar.

Also based the phrasing of your questions, I can infer that your first day of high school practice was very challenging.  Build some endurance run for 20-30 minutes along with site ups Build to 3 set of 25 with a 30-45 second set between will help.

    

Answer 3

yes because it allows your lungs to fully expand, thus creating room for more air. when running breath in the nose and out the mouth which will not only give you a steady breathing pattern but prevent side stitches, or cramps.

Answer 4

Good Running Posture:

earlobe aligned over the shoulders and hip joint, shoulders held back and down (so the upper back is relatively flat), chest curving out, and collar bones level or sloping only slightly upwards. The result is that their chin is 2 or more inches above the outer tips of the collar bones. When running, this basic head up, shoulders back posture is maintained, while the shoulders may be a little elevated to facilitate deeper breathing.
