From what I understand, breath control training largely provides little (if any?) physiological training effect other than from the work itself (which is hindered anyway, making it a waste of time for training any of the energy systems).
I assume there is room to mentally adapt and learn how to manage hypoxic suffering. But other than developing a strong aerobic base and increasing level of conditioning, can one actually have room to improve their hypoxic capacity specifically through hypoxic training?
Thank you!
All hypoxic training does for me is give me anxiety attacks .
If I overventilate before or after hypoxic efforts I get this irregular heart beat that is similar to anxiety or panic symptoms. I found that if I breathe normally, or swim with sufficient air between these hypoxic efforts, it doesn't happen. It initially had me concerned until I figured out I may have been hyperventilating.
Salnikov was burning lactic acid as fuel.Just watched some Salnikov on the old U-tube. His turns were insane. With the underwater footage I quick-click paused his turns. Not sure if he was short on this particular turn but by the time he planted his feet and pushed, his entire axis was already past vertical.
