Karl Grouwstra - Strength & Performance Coach

Why I’ve been focusing on diaphragmatic breathing, both on and off the bike 👇 . 1️⃣ Improves oxygen efficiency → More O₂ delivered per breath = lower heart rate for the same effort. . 2️⃣ Delays fatigue → Reduces strain on accessory breathing muscles (neck, chest). . 3️⃣ Enhances recovery → Stimulates the vagus nerve, lowers cortisol, promotes calm. . 4️⃣ Strengthens core stability → The diaphragm works in sync with your transverse abdominis, keeping your torso solid under load. . Breathing is performance and it’s one of the most underrated tools we have as Humans. . #hybridhumanperformance #cycling #dubaifitness #cyclinglife #triathlontraining #triathlonlife #endurancetraining #oxygenefficiency
