Once in a pool, we were playing underwater tag, where you can only be tagged when ur above the surface. And the first tagger calls out when its time for all the survivors to swim from one safe wall to the other. Like four people were holding me back when I was maybe 15 feet from being safe. Instead of panicking, I calmly (and excruciatingly slowly) swam for almost a full minute to the wall.

Second to say “this video was breathtaking”. Ironically making this the more original comment

@RPGgrenade 5 лет назад

Yeah this is pretty common practice in freediving, and is overall fairly safe when accompanied and not going very deep. The first method is achieved through meditation, deep breathing and other methods of self-awareness and relaxation under stressful situations. The second one is as you described, they go into a pool and generally hold their breaths while floating face down (with someone to help them, of course). Generally if the water is below 25ºC the effect seems to be greater (freedivers are the ones who do this stuff the most, they have practice) The third one can be achieved not just by ignoring, you can decrease the power and frequency of the spasms by practicing what're called diaphragmatic exercises. The balloon stomach and stomach vacuum exercises help in increasing the flexibility of the diaphragm, making the contractions less intense, more controllable, you can feel them beforehand and stop them for the most part. Also. If you want to take this stuff seriously, you need to understand that these people use packing and vacuum exercises to push their lungs a little bit beyond normal capacity, both in terms of emptiness and fullness. Packing means to breathe in fully, then grab air with your mouth and force it into the lungs. While the vacuum exhale is done with a stomach vacuum to get more air OUT of your lungs than is normally possible, it's the opposite of packing, allowing them to practice with very low oxygen for short periods of time. Finally, these people know how to breathe once they're done so they don't black out. When completing a breath hold, you obviously let all the air out, breathe in deep and fast in and out for a few seconds, then after a while you breathe in deeply, hold your breath for about 3 seconds, and release, repeat this until completely comfortable. This method lets you get all the lost air back in a hurry, but doesn't get to the point of hyperventilation due to how short it is, followed by slow and controlled breathing with short breath holds to let the lungs extract a bit more oxygen at a time, to stabilize the body's O2 supply.

@12gabriel3 5 лет назад

@eagleeyemind4800 2 года назад

@younessamr6802 5 лет назад

they say that high level of accumulated co2 that triggers the breath, low level of o2 comes second

@booJay 5 лет назад

Exactly. I was kind of disappointed that this video never talks about that and flashes over it quickly with only a brief text. It's the buildup of CO2 that causes the desire to breathe, not the lack of oxygen. Anyone can prove this to himself by hyperventilating aka diver's trick (in order to get rid of excess CO2) prior to holding his breath to experience this firsthand. You'll find you'll easily hold your breath twice as long without much effort.

@porters.5811 4 года назад

Yeah, you're body doesn't really have a signal for low O2, which is one reason this is so dangerous. Some people will breathe to lower the CO2 in their blood, and as a consequence, they can run out of oxygen and drown before they start feeling any discomfort.

@giuliovattai770 5 лет назад

hey minute earth! i appreciate your work, but i think you got something wrong, the diaphram spasm, or as we call it contractions, come primarily from rising levels of carbon dioxide, and not from low oxigen. That is why the first rule in freediving is never ever hyperventilate, if you do that your oxigen level will not rise much, but you lower drasticly your carbon dioxide level. In that way you wont feel the urge to breath and you can black out with out warnings (contractions). Comes from a 40m deep and 5 min static breath freediver. sorry for my english btw.

@kruton93 5 лет назад

I took a bath the other day and found out i can hold my breath for 2 min if everything is calm around me. I think the method that helped me was releasing air every few seconds. I think the CO2 that builds up in your body is also a huge stress to your systems, so if you periodically breathe out bubbles slightly and release the built up C02, your body doesn't go into panic mode. I failed a few times though because if you breathe out too hard, you're releasing precious oxygen as well.

Is there video of it? In a study by Shagatay Et al their dive times were very short. Like 20-30 seconds. But they do so many dives a day that they actually spend maybe 60% of their time underwater and holding their breath. I don't recall reading anything about their static holds though. 12 minutes is more or less consistent with reports from Ama and Haenyo divers in Japan and Korea, respectively, as well as old Greek sponge divers saying that previous generations could do 15 minute dives.

@@mastershooter64 I just read someones comment that the Wim Hof Method should not be used for breath retention under the water. And Wim advises anyone doing it to do so seated or laying down. It's 30 deep and somewhat fast breaths followed by holding your breath after the last exhalation. That's round one. You go for 3-4. The breaths are fully in but only relaxed out - you don't force the extra air out. It created an abundance of oxygen and a lack of CO2 in the body. By the end, you feel really great. Your bodies PH becomes less acidic. Your stress levels dissolve. You can ward off infection. There is also some cold exposure that has really helped me handle the cold. The breathing also helps with the cold but works even better with the cold exposure. It's pretty awesome. Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Joe Rogan and Russel Brand do interviews with him as well as a bunch of other channels here. And there is a free class on his website as well as his free app.

So the heart slows down only if you're completely still underwater, but does it remain slow if you're swimming or actively diving? How does the heart rate here compare to exercising on land? Can slowing your heart rate this way extend life expectancy if everything else is controlled for (the same diet, same amount of exercise, same amount of everyday stress)? I've seen longevity often tied to slower heart rates for other animals, so I'm just curious.

@@CarFreeSegnitz I only tired to be funny, which apparently failed miserably! Only an idiot would be in denial about climate change. The science is in, duh. I dont know what you mean about breathing being carbon-neutral. I think you talking your ass of! I dont know why you need to belittle a random dude on the internet. I guess you have something to work with at home. Best of luck!

What about "hyperventilation" technique? It worked for me when i trained to swim longer underwater in a pool.

Actually you feel like you need to grasp for air because of the CO2 levels.in your lungs. Not because of a necessity of oxygen. This is because the acidity of the blood around you lungs changes based on the CO2 content. I'm quite disappointed that something so simple was overlooked in this video...

FIRST! More importantly, if there really is enough O2 left when the spasms start to double your time, does that mean we aren't anywhere near danger?

danger no, but blackout yes, after blackout you got like 3 more minutes before your brain starts to get damaged.

Being out of breath for any point in time probably isn’t good for you. Most humans likely haven’t gotten to such extreme circumstances so there wasn’t appropriate evolution to adjust to the amount of oxygen we actually have available, and I’m almost entirely sure you start feeling bad side effects far before the point of blacking out. Lack of oxygen to the brain, thus illogical decisions or confusion, et cetera. It’s also always important in all animals to always have spare in case of emergencies. Spleens storing spare oxygen-filled blood, fat storing spare energy, it’s all about saving it until you really need it. Draining to the very drop of oxygen before being consciously alerted of the danger goes directly against that premonition of always having spare. Also also, it’s not a good idea to wait for the last moment of anything to finally pull away. (Why wait until your hand is actually burning before pulling it away from a hot stove?) It’s must safer to be enticed to get more air before it’s needed than to do so only moments before you could drop dead (or black out, but you get the point)

@cccaaawww8685 3 года назад

I thought this would teach me how to hold my breath longer but here’s the way I do it pretend to be dead and just don’t move as in that speeds up usage of o2 but just let the water move you and hold breath

@Splashstar216 3 года назад

the longest I've held my breath (head above water, mind you), was over 2 minutes back when I was a kid, like probably 11 years ago. it's too bad I don't know where the exact record is. I wrote it down somewhere, but I'll surely break that record again someday!
