Yes, try a forceful exhale rather than slowing the inhale or breathing in deeply. Someone may correct me but I believe that the breathing rate is controlled by the need to remove CO2 and not driven by O2 uptake. The idea of the forceful exhale is that you are “blowing off” CO2 faster. Makes for a more efficient breathing cycle rather than “panting” although at very high exertions all bets are off!
