**for continuity, if you respond to this poll please can you answer all the polls posted under the same title, thanks! is for my dissertation!**

Poll won't work very well if it only allows the selection of one option!

hello! sorry about that, clicked the wrong option, cant seem to edit it though... might have to make another... any ideas?

Well, one option was good enough for me - I took the last one - I do some short empty lungs breath-holds, just to squeze the spleen a bit. Well, it could be related also with the 3rd option (hypoxic tolerance), and perhaps some psychological help too. Though in fact not too much of help psychologically, because I usually give up pretty soon, which scares me more than it assures me. But then again, it may in fact help, because I get into the panic mode, telling myself I will never reach my goal with such a bad preparation BH, which in return kicks in the diving response quicker, and finally the result is not that bad.

Other: Don't know. I guess a mixture of "Increased tolerance of CO", "Increased tolerance of low O2", "Psychological preparation" and "Augmented dive response"...

 

[watts]

None! Get better at dry statics maybe?

 

[MikkoP]

Other:

Later contractions (disbenefit)
Weaker dive response (disbenefit)
Decreased lactate accumulation (disbenefit)
Decreased tolerance of low O2 (disbenefit)

Hi! Sometimes I try to do some dry sta. befor dynamic. I think it can help with contractions, that after the static results less painfull but I don't like to do it before a maximum dive..

roflThat sounds horrible Trux!

I don't do them because the guys that I swim with swim further than me and don't do them.
