Enhancing Athletic Performance: The Role of Breathing Muscle Development

The video discusses methods to enhance athletic performance by focusing on breathing muscles, which have been largely overlooked. A device with a rapidly opening and closing valve is used to increase lung workload, potentially improving oxygen intake. Research at Loughborough University shows promising results in testing athletes against this resistance.
