For dryland sports or work efforts, exhale on muscular exertion is the correct method. But for racing starts in swimming, I prefer to inhale during flight to get a big gulp of air before I hit the water.
Which is better, inhale or exahale when diving off the starting block?
You should not need much air to get to 15m (or whatever) off a start, it only takes a few seconds. For me, gasping for air comes much later in the race...
Yeah, Chris, if you didn't take so long to complete a race, you wouldn't need so much air. :thhbbb:
