What is the effect of sports training on the breathing system?

During training, the need for oxygen increases, and your breathing has to adjust to it. Therefore, lung work becomes faster, so your breathing will be deeper and more frequent.

The costal pressure changes have a sucking effect on the vena cavae system (veins). This effect is parallel with the breathing movements. When inhaling, your chest cavity grows and air pressure decreases in the lungs. When exhaling, your chest volume decreases, air pressure in the lungs increases, and in parallel your blood pressure increases in your veins.

During training, the pressure on the obturator muscle increases as it does during complete lung breathing; at inhaling it presses down more and more on the abdominal organs, at exhaling it releases them.

So you must breathe more consciously while you are training!

 As an effect of conscious breathing while training, the operation of the muscles that take part and the obturator muscle improves. The intake of air is more powerful, the lungs' air capacity is bigger, the number of the bronchioles that take part in breathing is greater and the gas exchange takes place over a larger surface.

With regular training your vital capacity grows, the lungs are able to receive more oxygen with a deep breathing. At rest the number of breaths per minute will become less, your body will be energy saving.

The purpose of complete lung breathing is control of breathing; making inhaling and exhaling conscious, generating more Energy from the air.
