<Answer: There are often no indications and you are already playing dangerously with hypoxia or hypercapnia>
Wow. This was a question that nagged me while I was doing this stuff. If there's no way to tell when you would drop to a dangerous level of hypoxia, then why do it? I absolutely never want to black out doing this. It's not worth it, for me at least.
That being said, it seems like people who get up to 4, 5, and 6 minutes of held breath must be using oxygen more efficiently with training.
Is there a scientifically established "average" time of breath hold for, let's say, adult males after which hypoxia becomes dangerous? Is it simply the time after the 1st contractions?
Also I'd assume that the time before the 1st contractions is perfectly safe?
Either way, I'll try to find another trainee like me who can supervise me and vice versa.
<i am getting off my soapbox now so hope you will yake on board whats been said.>
Well, if you're preaching facts from a soapbox you can stay on it as long as you like. I appreciate it.
