How to do abdominal breathing for children

Abdominal breathing is a very good physical breathing exercise. Abdominal breathing can greatly expand lung capacity and is very helpful in reducing lung infections. In addition, it can also have a relatively good helping effect on other organs of the body. Improve spleen and stomach function, soothe the liver and promote bile secretion, etc. Children can also achieve good results by using abdominal breathing. So how do children perform abdominal breathing? Let us give you a detailed introduction below.

① Thoracic breathing: Control the breath completely with the chest. After the air is inhaled into the lungs, it is squeezed outward from the chest. In this way, the inhaled volume cannot reach the maximum, the airflow is unstable, the breath cannot be sustained, and the body is prone to fatigue. This method is not easy to control the breath and is also harmful to health, so chest breathing is generally not recommended.

② Abdominal breathing method: When inhaling, sink the diaphragm and expand the abdomen and waist as much as possible. This is called "Qi sinking into Dantian" in folk saying. When exhaling, you should hold the strength in your Dantian and blow out the air evenly, bit by bit. After repeated practice, you can master this breathing method. Abdominal breathing can effectively control the airflow and blow out the air evenly. It can also increase or decrease the intensity of the airflow according to the needs of the music, make changes in strength and create abdominal vibrato effects. It is a correct breathing method.

③ Thoracic and abdominal combined breathing method: When inhaling, the chest, ribs, abdomen, and waist expand outward at the same time to inhale as much air as possible. This way, the lungs inhale more air than the previous two methods.

When using chest and abdominal breathing. When the entire respiratory muscle tissue works together, the load borne by the respiratory muscles is distributed very evenly, so the respiratory muscles are not easily fatigued.

Beginners should first learn abdominal breathing, and after becoming proficient, add chest expansion movements, which is combined chest and abdominal breathing.

When practicing, first inhale air slowly through your nose. You will then feel your abdomen naturally expanding outwards, and your waist also expanding outwards. This is the feeling of correct natural breathing. Gradually increase the speed of inhalation, and then try to inhale through your mouth without changing the movements of your abdomen and waist. In this way, you will have mastered the correct method of inhaling abdominal breathing. When playing the game, the abdomen gradually contracts as the air is exhaled, but the Dantian must be tense and the feeling of being pulled outwards must be found. This is control.

Children can perform abdominal breathing according to the methods introduced above, which can achieve better physical exercise results. It is very good for the growth and development of children. Combined with other health care methods and active nutritional supplementation, children's growth and development can be very effectively achieved.
