What is second wind

Open in App
Solution

a person's ability to breathe freely during exercise, after having been out of breath is called second wind.


In described form,


Second wind is a phenomenon in distance running, such as marathons or road running(as well as other sports), whereby an athlete who is out of breath and too tired to continue suddenly finds the strength to press on at top performance with less exertion. The feeling may be similar to that of a "runner's high", the most obvious difference being that the runner's high occurs after the race is over.
