​UNDERSTANDING METABOREFLEX: sometimes you got to get better at going slow to go faster

-Metaboreflex is where the body RESTRICTS blood flow to the working limbs when the breathing muscles begin to FATIGUE, this happens to ensure the role of breathing continues
-When the body senses a CONFLICT between its ability to breathe and its ability to perform at a high intensity, blood flow is redirected to the diaphragm giving it a chance to RECOVER, and blood flow to the exercising limb is LIMTIED decreasing performance
-Meaning having a STRONGER diaphragm will lead to better blood supply to the working muscles, INCREASING athletic performance because
1.The diaphragm muscle will resist fatigue longer
2.The diaphragm muscles will recover at a faster rate
 
HOW TO LIMIT METABOREFLEX
-One way to limit the negative effects of metaboreflex is by performing long duration steady state AEROBIC training while strictly NASAL breathing because
1.It INCREASE the amount of oxygen available to your muscle by improving your CO2 tolerance
2.It INCREASES the volume of blood pumped to the muscle each beat and develops the peripheral vascular network
