Abdominal breathing

Breathing in which the abdominal muscles perform the major part of the respiratory effort. Such breathing may be seen in various abnormal conditions (cerebrovascular accident, spinal cord injury, coma). Singers practice this method to enhance their vocal performance.


Also known as diaphragmatic breathing; breathing that involves drawing the first part of the breath into the lower part of the lungs, which results in the abdomen expanding, and then the remaining breath into the upper part of the lungs, which results in the chest expanding.
