Professional Athletes Training

I can't breath through my nose at all when boxing. It gets all snotty.

It is important to control your breathing, I agree. It effects stamina, your nerves, how dry your throat and mouth get, etc.

Altitude does make a difference. Ask anyone from sea level what it's like to fight at high altitude and they will tell you that it's 1000x harder. If you're not used to being at altitude you get winded just going up the stairs even if you are in great shape.

 

I only run for execise, but the prevailing wisdom there is to breathe evenly through both nose AND mouth. This business about properly humidifying and changing air temps can just as easily be done by sending the air through your windpipe as your sinuses, and you get more oxygen into your body that way anyway. It works for me, and I ain't changing any time soon.

 

It also swells the eyes.

 

I'm not blowing a snot rocket in the ring. :bart

You have to ask yourself how long it takes for air to warm once it enters your system. A second or two? I mean, how much longer could it take for air to warm taking it in through your nose as opposed to your mouth? When training for cardio fitness, isn't it more important to get the air in anyway, which is far more efficiently done through both? You'll become just as efficient if not more so beathing in and out naturally, not paying any attention to a breathing "system" as your body will be telling you how much oxygen it needs. The more you work, the better conditioned you'll be. I'd need to see some evidence that nose-only breathing helps in the least.

 

wish i could do that

 

This is the worse thing a boxer can do according to george foreman. Your eyes swell up
