Breath Hold Recovery
Breath hold recovery uses controlled post-exhalation holds to train CO₂ tolerance and autonomic calm—always practiced safely, seated, and progressively.
Breath hold recovery uses controlled breath holds after exhalation—often in CO₂ tolerance tables—to shift autonomic balance and improve breath efficiency for sport and calm. Practice seated, never in water alone, and avoid if pregnant or with uncontrolled hypertension.
Short holds with long rest beat max-effort straining.
