showed that tennis players who grunted when serving hit the ball 5mph faster than if they had remained silent…. This is thought to be due to the exhaling that
occurs during grunting, which gives muscles more power and stability.

being instructed to 'keep it down', learning to hold our breaths and any of
those supposedly improper sounds that come with even deep sighs…

Whoa... this is a good one for me to reflect on. I remember when I was a kid, I criticized to my mother an athlete who yelled crossing the finish line, and my mother explained that that release of energy could have help him break the tape at the end of the race. (She actually knew a thing or two about this release of vocal energy during physical strain, as she was an OB/GYN nurse!) But, as a middle aged (yikes!) man now, I found myself being ¨polite¨ and keeping that energy inside. Maybe time to make some noise...
