Bending over to catch your breath?

Sometimes when playing basketball or doing HIIT, I’ll bend over to catch my breath but then hear those old coaches in my head telling me to stand up straight.
Since it’s instinct to bend over and seems to actually help, should it be actually encouraged? Or were those old school coaches correct?

Does it really matter in the long run?
Theory: when you bend over, your breathing is helped by gravity so it’s easier.

A recent study showed that hands on hips/knees is "more natural" and does improve breathing.

The ability to recover faster from multiple bouts of exercise is a crucial part of optimizing performance for athletes in a variety of sports, such as soccer, rugby, basketball, and American football. Thus, using the best recovery modality, in this case posture during HIIT, is crucial to minimize fatigue and potential injuries due to altered biomechanics from the taxing exercise. On the basis of the findings in this study, HK posture significantly improved HRR, VT, and V?CO2 in comparison with HH posture. The positive effects of HK posture on HRR, VT, and V?CO2 may suggest improved parasympathetic influences and cardiorespiratory mechanics when adopting this posture during a recovery period from a fatiguing exercise.

Thanks, I always thought that was the case but so many coaches told me otherwise growing up. Maybe similar to old school coaches not letting players drink water to ‘toughen em up’ back in the day.

The same frickers that would give us one water break in a 2 hour scrimmage and only let you drink for 5 seconds. Geniuses.

So many coaches do that so you don’t show weakness mid game, nothing to do with effectiveness

not sure if anyone here follows Brian Mackenzie but he preaches this sort of stuff. I've been trying to do only nasal breathing when doing HIIT which is a process, including breathing posture, but I definitely notice a faster recovery time after exercise.
