How to learn to breathe  efficiently.

    In order to make it convenient for you to use the data obtained, bring all the breathing parameters into one table.
On the left side, write  please the name of the parameter (for example  automatic pause during the sleeping);
 and on the right side  is the arithmetic mean of this parameter.

Respiration parameters table.

The parameters that you see in this table are for example only.
 

You should write all your parameters in the right column.

What does Methodists of the method of  Buteyko  offer?

Methodists of the method of  Buteyko  say that in order to learn shallow breathing, it is necessary to train at least 3 hours a day;
 
The training consists in reducing the depth of inhalation by an effort of will, breathing “superficially” or as the first patients of Buteyko put it, “choking himself”.

What does Systema Colonel Maksimtsov offer?

Colonel Maksimtsov  bases on 14 years of experience in using this breathing method  for applied (practical) purposes, such as:
1. During a real battle:
1.1. When released from suffocating grabs;
1.2. When released from suffocating grabs with  improvised items (belt, fishing line, rope, special noose) for strangulation.
1.3. In the conditions of smoke;
1.3.1. in case of fire indoors;
1.3.2. when using special means "smokescreen";
1.3.3. when using tear gas;
1.3.4. in case great air pollution.
2. For working in high altitude conditions.
2.1. When altitude sickness (hypoxia) occurs;  a painful condition associated with oxygen starvation due to a decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen in the inhaled air which occurs high in the mountains;
2.2. As well as when flying on aircraft that are not equipped with an airtight cabin in which the air pressure is close or slightly lower than normal atmospheric pressure (for example, paragliders, hang gliders, balloons with an unpressurized gondola, airplanes), starting from about 2000 meters and above the level of the oceans.
2.3. A type of altitude sickness is a mountain sickness, in the occurrence of which, along with a lack of oxygen, aggravating factors such as physical fatigue, cooling, dehydration of the body, ultraviolet radiation, severe weather conditions (for example, frequent showers), and sudden changes in temperature during the day ( from +30 ° C during the day to −20 ° C at night), etc.
But the main pathological factor in mountain sickness is hypoxia.
 I conducted special classes with employees to increase their ability to adapt, while not being in the mountains. After that, an audit was carried out (by special forces officers who underwent this training) in the mountains at an altitude of 3450 meters.
3. During operation under water.
3.1. To save men drowning;
3.2. For finding and raising certain objects from the depths;
3.3. For finding and raising corpses from the depths;
3.4. For the ability to conduct a real battle in the water (in the pool, lake, river, sea).
4. To perform official  tasks during a fire:
4.1. Salvation of people;
4.2. Release of hostages;
4.3. Detention of criminals;
4.4. To preserve certain items of particular importance.

5. To fulfil the tasks during technological disasters with the release of toxic gases.

Systema Colonel Maksimtsov  suggests not training breathing for 3 hours a day but always (24/7) breathing effectively.
In the same way it is impossible to learn to own the professionally most effective Systema of Self-Défense if you do not live according to this System. Also unless you use the principles of  Systema in every movement that you perform in your daily life.
For this, it is necessary, first of all to highlight the main basic factors (principles), which must be paid attention to all the time.

If you breathe correctly for only 2-3 times  for  30-40 minutes a day, as some Buteyko Breathing Methodists recommend, then, as practice shows, this will not bring visible real positive results.
It will take years. Yes, for people with asthma, it will actually improve their condition for a short time while they breathe this way. That is, it is very effective for relieving an attack.
But if we want to dramatically improve the quality of life, then this is not enough.
Here it is necessary to rebuild, first of all, thinking about breathing. And when this idea is clearly fixed in your brain that breathing deeply is very harmful, and even dangerous for health and life, then only then will you control your breathing in everyday life.
Since you are a conscious person, all the previous lessons were preparatory for you to realize that you breathed ineffectively for many years of your life.
And an ordinary person (a layman from the street), who cares about his sofa, football on TV and beer, and the same friends, is unlikely to be able to understand and change his thinking about breathing.
And even more so start to act.
Based on the above, and also considering that you are a fairly motivated online student of Systema Colonel Maksimtsov , I suggest you find the 3 basic principles of Breathing yourself.
This is very  important based on the following factors:
1. You acquire a very important ability to extract the main (key) points from any information.
2. In this way, you develop the ability to foresee a dangerous situation and avoid it. The ability to highlight key points from any information helps to instantly assess the environment and highlight dangerous factors that can lead to a certain problem.
3. You acquire the skill to briefly formulate your thought, which is very important for your own understanding and use of the knowledge and skills gained to improve the quality of your daily life;

4. If you are a teacher, instructor, mentor,  parent  or are going to become one, then you acquire the ability to easily and concisely convey knowledge and skills to your children, relatives or students.

Homework.
You have received enough knowledge to identify the principles of breathing.
The more principles you will write the better.
