So they say hyperventilation is bad because

MDR comes late, I do agree.
Reduce contraction sensitivity, yes I would say so.
But I'm not so clear on the point where hemoglobin has a hard time releasing O2 to the brain, because initially when we hyperventilate, the blood is very alkaline. In the beginning of the breath hold, there's still abundant of O2, so it makes more sense that hemoglobin holds off releasing, but when we are close to the limit the blood is probably very acidic and the hemoglobin will release O2 anyway. Isn't this benefit to apnea activity ?

I would like to plug in another unrelated question about Aida lanyard regulation. Is plastic buckle allowed on the wrist band / belt. To me it's way more secure and easier to release than those stupid velcro that can wear down in a couple months.
