by Patrick McKeown
Buteyko breathing for athletes and everyone else: most people overbreathe, nasal breathing and CO2 tolerance improve oxygen delivery, and simple breath-hold exercises raise the BOLT score. Some claims outrun the evidence; the nasal-breathing and light-breathing practices are low-risk and many find them useful.
