Rhythmic Breathing and Injury Prevention

Rhythmic breathing will help prevent injuries. While running, you hit the ground with greater force at the beginning of each exhalation. If you use the 3:2 ratio and exhale on alternate footstrikes, you will balance the impact of stress to both sides of your body.

If you use a 2:2 ratio, you will strike the ground with the same foot at the beginning of each exhalation. This will cause one side of your body to experience a greater impact of stress during running.
