It also helps deal with the muscle fatigue of practice, reducing the amount of muscular pain experienced. Why we should breathe in nose, why not in mouth.When one breathes through the mouth, particulate matter is not filtered out, nor is the air inhaled humidified. These are two functions carried out by the nose hair and mucous lining present in the nasal passage. As we breathe through the mouth, this process does not occur.
