Hay guys
I'm trying to find any scientific evidence on the effects of hyperventilation on your O2 saturation in arterial blood flow. But i'm having some trouble and was hoping someone out there could point me in the right direction.
we have all been told that there is no effect on O2 during our freediving education, but if you speak to a Yogi they will tell you that one of the benefits of Pranayama is to oxygenize your body. So somebody has to be wrong.
Also if you think that the gasses inside our body are made up of O2, CO2 and N and since Nitrogen is fixed, any CO2 will be taking up PP that would be O2 otherwise. therefore to reduce CO2 would make more "room" for O2.
I'm looking for studies, numbers, cold hard facts. I know how excited people get about hyperventilation here but please spare me the sermons on the negative effects of hyperventilation with freediving because i know them all and that is not what i am asking for.
Thanks in advance
