Hello all,
I am new to this forum, as well as to competitive masters swimming (nutshell: swim club member in my youth, returned to it as an adult solely for exercise, but something about turning 40 made me want to get more serious:)
Reading posts on this forum, I have seen people talking about implementing things like t-shirt swimming, parachute (??), as well as dryland training wearing a snorkel (seriously?;).
Can anyone say anymore about the tricks they use to improve lung capacity. I need 0-1 breath on the 25m, but a whopping 5-7 when I do a 50m.
Thanks!
Jennifer
Lung capacity can not actually be increased. However, you can increase the efficiency with which you use oxygen.
If a person's lung size cannot increase, how does exercise serve to improve lung function? - Scientific American
Thanks for responding this is a good explanation on how to improve your O2 efficiency.
Hope this helps,
Andrew
