“Lower lactic acid levels, increased lactate threshold, and less inflammation through reduced white blood cell count — just some of the benefits of nasal-only breathing,” Jeffrey Boadi, a nutrition writer, noted on Twitter. “Efficient breathing will equal better performance.”
Fans spotted Polish star Iga Swiatek training for the upcoming Canadian Open in Montreal with a piece of tape over her mouth, prompting widespread confusion.

I have tried running while breathing only through my nose. It was done to learn how to better use nasal breathing, as a training technique. It's not that hard for easy intensity.
It was explained in a book, I think it is called "The Oxygen Advantage."
FWIW, I use an oral device that seals off the mouth and allows only nasal breathing every night while i sleep, for minimizing sleep apnea. Again, it can be done.

Thats completely ddumb.there is no scientific or structural reason to justify such nonsense.
Would you run with a tape on your mouth to improve your perfomance?
No, I would not wear tape on my mouth to improve performance. If someone doesn't have enough mental control to exercise at an easy, aerobic effort when needed, then they're going to need a lot more than mouth tape to learn self control.

Perhaps Iga Swiatek was inspired by the above title by James Nestor. In this book he makes a compelling argument regarding the transformation of human breathing techniques brought about by a changing mouth and throat structure. Through various sources he studies the changes that are occurring possibly due to foods progressively becoming softer allowing the jaw muscles to become weaker and the tongue moving deeper into the throat. He claims sleep apnea and asthma, and a few other breathing issues are recent developments and are results of this evolution.
After reading the book I slept for four weeks with a strip of tape holding my mouth shut. At the end of my non-scientific study, I did feel a more open nasal cavity but had no significant change in daily running pace.
