Why the study?
Swimming requires cardiovascular and respiratory adaptations, but whether these systems are susceptible to swimming-induced adaptations in response to breath holding needed evaluation.
Does regular swimming alter cardiorespiratory physiological responses to breath holding compared to a sedentary lifestyle?
Does regular swimming alter cardiorespiratory physiological responses to breath holding compared to a sedentary lifestyle?
Regular swimming induces physiological adaptations that provide an oxygen-conserving effect and a more efficient tidal volume response during breath holding.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Swimmers show oxygen conservation and efficient tidal volume response during breath-hold; leaves open whether training induces these adaptations.
Nandan et al. (2021) studied this question.
