I think it is more appropriate, except for some technical terms like "drop shot", to use the present participle (adjectival) of a verb to form the first component of a "verb+noun" compound noun.
e.g. swimming pool, washing machine.
inhaling position or inhale position ??
2014-07-17 11:49:49 補充:
複合名詞 "drop shot", "drop cloth", "fly half" 在字典中可以查到。 But, never can you find the word "swim pool" or "wash machine".
"swimming pool" stands for the pool for swimming.
So, "inhaling position" should stand for the position for inhaling.
