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!
depending on your speed, some wont need a breath at all on a 50yd free at your ATP stores will last the entire race and you wont even enter the krebs cycle until after you have touched the finish pad. now a few elite (ie biondi's new wr) can do this in the 50m as well. regardless of if your muscles actually need it or not, the burning lung sensation you feel while doing this isnt very mental and very physical. :D
