’Fractional breathing1 can do the trick
MOSCOW. Sept 15: In 50 years of coaching athletics. Yakov Yclyan-ov has seen it all — so when told about the Invention of a "revolutionary" breathing technique the veteran trainer was sceptical to say the least, reports Reuter.
Six months later, Yelyanov is a firm covert to the "fractional breathing" method of Siberian chemist Alexander Streltsov and has persuaded his runners — all members of the Russian national team — to use IL
The technique of making four separate, successive inhalations before every exhalation of air has helped several of the athletes chop seconds of their personal best times for the 800 and 1,500 metres this season.
Its inventor believes its impact could be as revolutionary as Dick Fosbury's highjump method, not only in athletics but in -a range of other endurance events.
"It s like the Fosbury flop in the high Jump but it works for skiing, skating, rowing, cycling. running swimming and boxing, for example," said Streltsov, who has been invited to work on the breathing method this winter with the national speed-skating squad.
The 38-year-old scientist from Irkutsk had been lobbying Commonwealth of Inde-
xes for months to give his method a fair trial. Lost February, he got his breakthrough.
Five of Yclyanov's athletes underwent laboratory tests where Streltsov measured their oxygen Intake, pulse and production of Lactic acid, a substance which builds up with the onset of fatigue and stops the muscles working efficiently.
With the new technique, the level of oxygen entering the runner’s bloodstream rose by 10 to 12 per cent. They achieved identical speeds while maintaining a much tower pulse rate.
But what impressed Ycly-anov most of all was the drop in production of Lactic acid.
"I've been working 54 years and I've seen all kinds of crazy experiments but when 1 spoke to Alexander he showed me the theoretical basis and 1 could sec a grain of reason in It." the trainer said.
"1 was amazed by what 1 saw in those figures — the level of Lactic acid fell by 1.5 to two times."
So- hew -does the Method-work?
The four separate inhalations. Streltsov says, extend the length of each breathing cycle and give haemoglobin — a protein compound in the blood — more time to absorb the oxygen and carry it to the muscles.
The runner makes fewer breaihlng cycles per minute —-In other words he takes in leas air but extracts more oxygen
This way. the athlete can delay the point at which his body start burning up its own Internal oxygen reserves and producing the Lactic acid which slows him down.
"It's the athlete himself who changes the supply of air. It's very simple, ever? primitive. An invention Is always a means of
making things simpler." Streltsov said.
"I think those who want to. can master it very fast. It takes a maximum of five days to Icam."
At a practice track near the Lenin Olympic Stadium in MoscoW, Yclyanov's charges have been putting the method to the test this season and are pleased with the results.
"When we were told about it 1 was against It. J was cautious. But I had nothing to lose so I decided to try it." said Olga Nclybova. who runs the 800 and 1.500 metres
Since she started to use fractional breathing,, the 28-ycar-old has trimmed her times for both distances by two seconds — to one minute 58 seconds and 4.06 respectively — and hit her best form since 1988. Opponents she has beaten include Tatyana Dor-ovsklkh and Romania’s former Olympic champion Paula Ivan. Nclyubovn said the method was •hArd peg 'Swed to bcoause "You feel you’re swelling up with air." The temptation to revert to normal breathing is strong, especially in races.
"In competition you're at your limits and running the last part of the race on stamina. I stdp thinking about the breathing. I Just think about finishing the race. But I think I'll learn." she said
Yelyanov says he believes the method will gradually gain popularity among Russian athletes and coaches, Its Impact is likely to be greatest in longdistance endurance events.
This method makes you breathe very deeply so that the air gets where It needs to. When you get used to It. learn It and make It automatic. It gives big results."
Tm 100 per cent sure the longer the distance the greater the effect from using this breathing," he said.
