Yawning during Exercise.
Why do we yawn when working out?
Yawning is a reflexive response that occurs when we inhale deeply and exhale audibly. While the exact reason why we yawn is still not fully understood, one theory suggests that it helps to regulate our brain's temperature and increase oxygen intake.
During exercise, our bodies require more oxygen to fuel the increased physical activity. Yawning may be a way to increase the oxygen intake and help our bodies meet this increased demand. Additionally, as we work out, our bodies generate heat, and yawning may also help regulate our brain's temperature by cooling it down.
It's also worth noting that yawning can be contagious, and seeing or hearing others yawn can trigger a yawn response in ourselves. So, it's possible that if you see someone else yawning while working out, it may trigger a yawn response in you, too.
