CO2 & O2 TABLES

CO2 & O2 tables are breathing exercises that involve holding your breath for increasing periods of time, whilst inhaling an exhaling a specific amount of CO2.

With gradually increased exposure to CO2 comes extra tolerance, allowing you to hold your breath for longer periods of time.

In fact, recent studies have shown that CO2 tables can lead to a significant increase in breath-holding time, compared to other methods such as hyperventilation (which isn't a good idea just so you know).

WHY DO CO2 TABLES WORK?

CO2 tables increase the level of CO2 in your bloodstream, and over time your body becomes more tolerant to it.

Furthermore, the body becomes more efficient at using/utilising oxygen in the process.

CO2 TABLE EXAMPLE

We'll be giving you a specific table to follow a little later in the course, but here's an example of what they look like, and how they work.

BREATH HOLD	HOLD TIME	RECOVERY TIME
1	30 SEC	2 MIN
2	45 SEC	2 MIN
3	1 MIN	2 MIN
4	1.15 MIN	2 MIN

THE WRAP UP

By increasing your body's tolerance to CO2 you can improve your ability to hold your breath for longer periods of time.

They're simple (almost too simple), yet they're damn effective, and will be a major part of your 21 sprint training at the end of this course.
