Hey everyone,
I am new to the forum so apologies if this is the wrong section for my question.
I am doing a advanced course with the course system „apnea total“ at the moment and i am a bit confused since some of what i am learning contradicts what i‘ve learned in my Aida 2 star course before.
For static apnea we did a „breathe up“ that was basically hyperventilation from what i know. It consisted of strong 5 seconds inhales and 5 second exhales. This was already confusing to me but my instructor said that‘s what the professional athletes do aswell. Same goes for today when we did CWT training. In my beginners course i learned that everything that is more than just the normal tidal breathing is considered overbreathing or hyperventilating. For the breatheup i am supposed to do 4 minutes of very deep and intense full lung Inhales with „flushes“ inbetween which are short breaths inbetween which are supposed to get your CO2 lower. But that is by definition hyperventilation, am i right?
I am confused if what i am learning is actually safe. I‘d appreciate if someone could help me with this, especially if you also did a apnea total course.
Thank you in advance!
Greetings!
