Hello folks, please pardon my intrusion. I am a physiology professor and in the course of teaching the basics of ventilation and its control I looked up the world record for static apnea (9 min!) and wondered if divers of all disciplines, but particularly static ever use buffers (e.g. sodium bicarb) to help performance. I sincerely do not mean or imply anything unethical or unsportsman like in this question. I know its use (bicarb) has mixed results for track events and just wondered about the diving.
I don't know your rules so a second question would be if the use of akaline agents is addressed.
