Respiration... includes two processes: external respiration, the process of gas exchange in the lungs; and internal respiration, the process of O2 utilization and CO2 production and elimination by the cells.

"If you leave respiration up to chance, you're leaving your exercise results up to chance. Body'Fit pH Fitness rolls the dice in your favor." 

To get more out of exercise, breathing design needs to be optimized. Body'Fit pH Fitness coordinates the complete and economical movement of the entire body with a deliberate pattern of inhalation and exhalation unique to each of its 24 exercises, in order to potentate respiration.  

The O2 delivery to tissues depends on the amount of O2 entering the lungs, the efficiency of pulmonary gas exchange in the alveoli, blood flow to the tissues which is controlled by cardiac output and the resistance vessels, and concentration of hemoglobin and its capacity to carry oxygen.

Hyperventilation increases air uptake, however reactive respiration is not sufficient to prevent the build up of lactate and drop in pH; and forced ventilation exceeds the body's requirements for respiration causing a rise in pH.  That is, if speed and depth of breathing are increased beyond the needs of the physical movement, an alkaline pH results.  If physical activity exceeds respiration beyond the capability of hyperventilation to meet the demands of metabolism, acidosis results.

If the pH drops and the temperature rises, hemoglobin carries less oxygen and requires a higher concentration of gas to bind; if pH rises and temperature falls, hemoglobin carries more oxygen and requires a lower concentration of gas to bind.

Although blood leaving the lungs is always fully oxygenated, when blood flow doesn't keep up with air flow into the lungs, less total O2 is extracted and less CO2 is excreted. Oxygen pressure drops and the carbon dioxide pressure rises in the blood, amounting to reduced gas exchange in the tissues.

In the upright position ventilation is greater at the base than at the apex because the lung has more capacity for expansion due to lower interpulmonary pressure ie, air pressure holds the apex in an already expanded position.

Blood flow is also greater at the base than the apex, so much more oxygen is absorbed when we inhale into the bottom of the lungs first.

By distributing blood flow throughout the body as Body'Fit pH Fitness dilates the resistance via release of adenosine in the abdomen, and circulation to the bone marrow where red blood cells are formed is enhanced.

By improving digestion and absorption, building block nutrients such as iron and protein are made available for the production of hemoglobin.
