Not breathing correctly can cause great problems because healthy breathing patterns help the body keep a high metabolism and delivers oxygen to vital tissues.

Breathing too fast or not inhaling deeply enough can increase the blood pH, which can lower the quantity of blood getting to the brain and muscles. This means to less oxygen released by that blood.

Your breathing also shows how good your core muscles are functioning. Shallow breathing or too quick breathing pattern makes the diaphragmatic muscles not to be active stabilizing your trunk. This can cause poor posture, including impairments in your physical or athletic coordination and your low back stability. All of these increase the risk of injury and lowers the potential for performance.
