Expert 1014 , New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Playing an instrument to help swim / run form Nope. But I've been playing the piano my whole life. Maybe the "learning a new piece of music" thing is so ingrained it does nothing for my poor swim and run form. I suppose if anything, I have a good sense of tempo, so I can increase/decrease my pace in small increments like when I'm practicing on the piano with a metronome. Dancing however...I feel like my dance training helps my physical form. |

| New user 31 Arcadia | Subject: RE: Playing an instrument to help swim / run form I can shed light on this... The op is referring to playing a wind instrument. Having been a member of a drum corps for years I can say that the brass players have really good breath control. When we did run block in the mornings they would do breathing exercises while running... just like they would in a performance. Being a percussionist, I can't say my breathing was as good as theirs but I can see the benefit it would have in the water. Also, learning any instrument is a good thing in general, so go for it |

Healthy endurance athletes are not limited by the amount of oxygen in the lungs so this is very unlikely to provide any benefit. Shane |

| Extreme Veteran 3023 Maryland | Subject: RE: Playing an instrument to help swim / run form you should always breathe from the diaphram, but the limiter isn't the amount of air your lungs can hold. |

| Champion 9407 Montague Gold Mines, Nova Scotia | Subject: RE: Playing an instrument to help swim / run form Originally posted by jdl2012 Wetsuits have a tendancy to restrict the ribcase from opening up much. So breathing from the diaphragm will help. You'll note that I did not suggest not breathing "from the diaphragm" as all breathing during exercise will engage the diaphragm, but that oxygen available in the lungs is not the limiter in healthy endurance athletes.
