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?
I breathe heavily when behind the blocks to mildly hyperventilate to cause respiratory alkalosis to slow down the burning from lactic acidosis.At the long whistle I slow my breathing down.At "take your marks" I hold my breath.As I dive I inhale vigorously.
