static hold - heat feeling

[TLoonie]

Hi,

I recently did a long static and for the first time I started to feel really~ hot towards the end of the hold. I actually had to take off some clothes, which made me move and use O2 :S
Does/Did this happen to you too?
Is it something I should watch out for?

Thanks in advance ッ

I've had the same thing at 4mins. It usually kicks in for me if I pass the 3min mark and I get hotter and hotter from there.
It had me worried. I'm pretty interested in what people think/ know about this.

There is nothing to worry about. That is normal. I always take off clothes before dry static otherwise I get very hot. I think it may be related to constriction of blood vessels in limbs and skin resulting from the dive response. It impairs the ability of our body to dissipate heat and the core temperature goes up.

To me it sounds like blood shift. The spleen contracting and seending out "fresh" blood surely makes it a bit varmer. I get this at 2:30 in static and after only one minute in the dynamic disciplines.

Thank you both for the quick answers

Once you start feeling the blood shift, do you keep feeling it until the end of the hold or does this go away?

Soon I will build my ultimate static room. A/C, a fan / lots of air circ, the right underpadding on a mattress (a foam top will make you roast within 2:00 of a static hold) and completely soundproofed.

I get very hot in a static (or even a CO2 exercise) if the room is warm or there is poor air circ.

Someday someone will walk in and I'll be wearing nothing but my boxer shorts and a noseclip and convulsing and 911 will get called...

Well I'm glad I'm not doing something wrong during my statics then.
Thank you for the replies. Gives me more confidence in what I'm doing

@Apneaddict That sounds soo nice. One day I'll be really rich and will make me one too

@TLoonie: Yes. My experience is that the varm feeling stays there. It gets a little weaker over time, but as far as I have hold my breath its still there.

Actually I'm not sure if the heat is due to the blood shift or the spleen contraction. Could be a combination.

Spleen contraction has nothing to do with that. Blood in the spleen is not warmer than in other internal organs. Moreover, the volume of blood squeezed from the spleen is very low.

Don't know the reason but I get very hot too - dry holds are almost unbearable. On the bright side, when in the pool, I might be shivering before a static and then I am often OK during the hold!

Beats pooping your pants.

During normal breathing your body normally expels a lot of heat in the warm air of every exhale. When you hold your breath your metabolism is still working and producing heat, but now that heat is trapped in your body. The longer the breath hold the more the heat collects making you feel warmer.
