Valsalva Maneuver (Holding Your Breath) with Dave Pavlansky – USATF

December 11, 2024 • By Track and Field/Cross Country Coaches Insider

Watch as Coach Dave Pavlansky discusses the Valsalva Maneuver for sprinters in the 100m. This is a breathing technique in which you hold your breath to create an air splint which allows the sprinter to put more force into the track. Holding your breath is a natural technique and the key is to exhale as if were blowing into a balloon for 15 to 20 meters.
