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!

More specifically from information I gathered earlier in this thread, on page 446 of E. Maglischo's SWIMMING FASTEST. He mentions swimmers can quickly develop ability to swim races with fewer breaths.
My birthday is approaching, if I'm lucky enough to be asked what I would like for a gift, maybe I should mention this book.
