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!

I would see the primary benefit not being physiological, as I've seen evidence (can't remember the source) that you can't train yourself to not need air, but in learning to relax while under pressure for air, thus working more efficiently.
