Explanation:
Autonomic nervous system controls involuntary body functions like heart rate, respiratory rate, digestion etc. It can be further divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nervous system is activated when an individual faces a potential threat or scary situation. It initiates "fight or flight" mechanism. Parasympathetic nervous system brings the body back to calm state. It initiates "rest and digest" mechanism.
Both A and B were scared before their performances so their sympathetic nervous system was dominant. But when A started performing his parasympathetic system took over and he became calm and performed well. Performer B's sympathetic system remained dominant even while performing hence he was nervous and scared during the entire performance and eventually retired.
Some medical issues can make it difficult for you to breathe. You can benefit from bilevel-positive airway pressure in these instances. It is sometimes also know as BiPap. It is a form of ventilator, a system that assists in breathing. Your lungs expand during normal breathing as you breathe in.
