Re: asthma and freediving?

Add: sorry for the long post but I think it is interesting

Hey guys and grils of course

Well it took me quite some time but I managet it at last. I made my second spyrometric test 3 weeks ago. I also did a asma provoke test (hope this i right) and I scaned the results. I don't know much about this but i belive some of U will be able to do something with the numbers.

I also found a test I did 7 years ago but nothing before that.

Just for info, I had my last big astma atack about 10 years ago. I got my first atack when I was 9 months old and ended in the hospital for the first time. I wasn't aloved to do sports till I was 15 or 16. Then I started doing something on my own. First some kickboxing, some general fitness. I did that for 2 years 2 times a week. Than came 2 years of my lazyness again. I started with freediving about 2 years ago but I trained only 2 times a week for an hour in the pool. I had some moments when I trained more but this were exeptions. From this January I'm training really hard 5-6 times a week mostly for 2h a day.

I like it and I think I'll keep it up. Now my doctor said I have to make test every 3-4 months, so I will write in this post telling U about how much I trained and if any of the results will change. Maye I'll throw in my PB also.

Now here are the results of the test.
First the one frome 1998:


and the one form may 2005:


and the provoke test may 2005:

If anyone can comment this nubers please do so .

I can only tell u what my doctor said. Well i made the test to get the medical for our national championships, and the dr. pulmologyst didn't wan't to aprove it. He said that I can do what sport I want but not at a competitive level. He said that I have a "latent bronchial astma". I passed the provoke test just by a bit.
He put out the resutl from Metaholin provoke test PD 20 FEV1 = 2,75l. I don't know what it means exactly so if anybody can help with this? I belive it has something to do with my bronchies closing and my volume capacitiy diminishing.
He said aslo that it si to danegrous if I get an astma atack during the dive that there is noone who can help me... I said I can take this risk being realy small so I went to get another opinion and got the medical and did really god on our nationals.

Here is my results progress:
2 years ago after a month of trainig apnea:
STA=4min
DYN=70m
DNF= didn't do at this time

1 year ago. 1 year of training 2 times a week:
STA=4min 30sec
DYN=76m
DNF=50m

The last year I progressed only a meter o 2 untill last beginning of may. And then my performances bursted unbelivably:
Nationals on 21st of may 2005:
STA=4min58s (my pb wet is 5.06 and dry 5.47)
DYN=107m (pb)
DNF=82(pb)

Ok enough for now .
