Question

what happens if an athlete donot take long breathe before starting race?

Answer 1

Breathing has four stages: inhaling, full pause, exhaling, and empty pause- which helps to increase oxygen in the blood.

If the oxygen is more in the blood, we will be less fatigued and more mentally alert, as there is a strong connection between respiration and one’s mental state.

Thus, if an athlete don't take long breathe before starting race, he may fatigue or unconscious.
