Description of exercise Glossopharyngeal breathing exercise, also known as “frog breathing,” is a technique used to improve lung capacity and oxygen intake. It involves taking a deep breath through the nose, holding it for a few seconds, and then slowly exhaling through the mouth while making a “k” sound with the back of the tongue. This action helps to open up the airways and strengthen the muscles in the throat and tongue. It is often used by athletes, singers, and individuals with respiratory conditions to improve their breathing and endurance. Regular practice of glossopharyngeal breathing can lead to increased lung capacity, improved oxygenation, and better overall respiratory health.
