- Abstract
Problem statement: Previous studies have underscored differences between nose and mouth breathing concerning health implications, yet the immediate impact of these breathing modes on strength and physiological responses still needs to be clarified. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the immediate effects of different breathing modes on short-term local muscle endurance performance (SLMEP) and physiological responses. Methods: In this randomized crossover experimental study, 110 individuals (70 men and 40 women) underwent a 60-s sit-up test (SU60) three times under three different breathing conditions nasal inhale + nasal exhale (NN); oral inhale + oral exhale (MM); nasal inhale + oral exhale (NM) on separate days in random order. Dependent variables included the number of repetitions in SU60 (repsSU60), heart rate (HR), perceived exertion (RPE), and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). Results: Repeated measures ANOVA indicated no significant differences in repsSU60, RPE, and SpO2 between the selected breathing modes in both genders. However, the male group exhibited significantly lower HR for the NN mode compared to NM (p = 0.026) and compared to MM in the female group (p = 0.047). Conclusions: Various breathing modes exhibit no immediate effects on SLMEP and physiological responses such as RPE and SpO2. Even without the need for adaptation, NN appears to be equally effective in SLMEP as the other two more commonly used breathing modes (NM and MM). While selected breathing modes may potentially impact HR, the immediate effects in the context of SLMEP are only minor. Given the lack of significant differences between various breathing modes in SLMEP, individuals can select their breathing modes based on personal preference. Still, using a potentially healthier mode (NN) seems more appropriate.
